George Pullman

Luxury transportation is a relatively new phenomenon in the history of civilization, with even kings riding horses and carriages up until the last two hundred years. One of the pioneers of luxury travel was George Pullman, whose railcar company introduced the sleeper car, and custom railcars that rich owners could have attached to normal trains, but still be separate from the "untouchables." Once, when presenting President Chester A. Arthur with a new presidential car, as documented in the popular magazine serial "Pimp My Pullman," Mr. Pullman showed his extensive knowledge of his clients' individual tastes, in your Ingratiating Quote of the Day, "Yo Chester, I heard you like trains, so I put a model train in your train so you can play with your train while you ride in your train!"
