Equipment Information

Pullman car “Inglehome” is an all-steel lounge-observation-sleeping car. It features an observation compartment and open platform with 180-degree views from the back of the train and “section” seating that could be converted overnight into bunks separated by heavy curtains. It was originally used in pool service on the east coast, over the Pennsylvania Railroad and Seaboard Air Line. It was later sold to a private railroad fan club in Champaign, Illinois, and named the “Chief Illini.”
