Equipment Information

Pullman car “Glen Alta” is an all-steel heavyweight sleeping car. It is designed for long-distance accommodation and features private rooms that can be converted from daytime seating into nighttime bunks. It has a mix of six compartments, small rooms intended for two occupants, and three drawing rooms, larger compartments intended for 2-3 people. After it was retired by Pullman this car was used for traveling circus performer accommodation, making it the only piece of “circus train” equipment at IRM.
