Pullman published a dozen “fact” booklets in about 1929; this is number 11 and the only one I haven’t previously shown here. It claims that first-class sleeping car fares in Europe cost almost twice as much as in the United States.

To support this, the booklet compares rail and sleeping car fares for seven different trips in Europe and comparable-length trips in the United States. In each case, even the second-class sleeping car fares in Europe are less than the first-class fares in the United States.

First, when combined with the railroad fares, a second-class berth in Europe is often less expensive than a berth in the United States. For example, New York to Chicago is $41.70 while Paris to Rome is just $34.17. While they may be called second class, the berths in Europe are in semi-private compartments shared with one other passenger, while the ones in the United States are only curtained off from the outside.

Second, all of the European examples are for trips out of Paris. What about trips in Britain, Germany, Spain, or other countries? They may cost less than trips in France.

If Pullman was right, it was likely partly due to economies of scale. Most European trips weren’t (and aren’t) long enough to require overnight travel, while Pullman served a vast network of long-distance trains. As the booklet noted, when it was prepared the United States had four times as many sleeping cars as Europe. It also didn’t hurt that Pullman had a ready pool of cheap labor in the form of otherwise downtrodden blacks.
