These vintage cars have been rescued and fully restored to the original Pullman Art Deco design, with stylish plush accommodation that features modern amenities to maximize comfort without compromising authenticity. Pullman Porters and Stewards clad in traditional uniform are on hand at all times to give superb service.

Food on Pullman Rail Journeys is prepared on board; during the trip, passengers are served three elegant meals. Menus can include, for example, filet mignons with Madeira wine sauce and the great American breakfast. All drinks are included in the price and are prepared to order. Light meals and snacks are available from the buffet in the Club and Lounge Cars. The Club car remains open throughout the trip.
Every week, there are two departures southbound, Chicago to New Orleans, and two departures northbound.
Each journey is around 950 miles over an unhurried 19 hours; long enough to appreciate that taking time to travel can be a life-enhancing experience in such classic surroundings, especially with a special companion.
