Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Abraham Lincoln is the oldest operable passenger car in the United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1910, with Robert Todd Lincoln as the company president, the Pullman Car Company suddenly changed from the 60 foot varnished wood railroad cars to the 80 foot, riveted-steel design. The new technology of the time was electric lighting, so the new cars required the addition of electrical wiring, switches, switchboards, generators, and batteries. Wood and steel trucks were replaced with massive structural steel castings.
