Pullman luxury trains fade as railroads cut service
United Press International reports that luxury passenger trains including the Century Limited and 20th Century Limited are likely doomed as railroads cut long runs and trim sleeper and dining options. Railroads cite high costs, wage and tax burdens, and competition from cars and planes as the era ends. Pullman, facing phaseout, notes no new sleepers since 1958, while industry officials foresee limited future for long distance service outside key markets.
