The Maryland History and Culture Bibliography
White, John H., Jr. The American Railroad Passenger Car. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1978.
Notes: The author, former curator of transportation at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C., offers a very solid treatment of the subject in large format and with beautiful illustrations of the railroads' moving structures from the lowly day coach to Pullman's palaces on wheels. Again, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is often cited and pictured.
