What a fantastic moment captured in 1902 onboard the Delaware Lackawanna Western Railroad. Why all the images of waterfalls on the walls? Perhaps a traveling photographer?

Interior Pullman Car.

Beveled mirrors, ornate carvings, and polished brass were the hallmarks of travel in a Pullman parlor car, such as the one depicted here from 1893. First-class passengers enjoyed plush swivel seats and could eat their meals in equaling lavish dining cars. The wealthiest Pennsylvanians owned their own luxuriously appointed private cars.

kinda looks similar to the inside of the first class cabins on the Titanic.
