I am researching passenger service in 1916 for a novel in process. My character travels from New York to Philadelphia on an PRR express service run. The railguides I found online for 1910 and 1921 give me a good sense of the timing of his run in 1916, and information on when trains ran, etc. I also see that service included parlor, club and dining cars.
I'd like to know more about the passenger cars he likely would have traveled in, the parlor car, most probably. My ideal is to know the model and layout of the parlor cars, and see pictures of their interiors. I did a lot of online research to try to pin this down but could not quite pin things down.
Any leads or tips or help would be greatly appreciated. Though it's fiction, I can't stand the thought of having the railroad part wrong.
Thanks
