Pullman Southern Car Company.

Active 1870

Biographical notes:

Louisville and Chicago based company formed in 1871 by George M. Pullman to consolidate his southern controlled sleeping car lines, including those run in a partnership with Hannibal I. Kimball, those of the Southern Transportation Co. which Pullman leased along with his lease of the Central Transportation Co., and those of independent operator, Enoch Paine.

In 1882 Pullman Southern was absorbed by the Pullman's Palace Car Company after an exchange of stock, but retained its corporated identity until 1894 when all assets were sold to the Pullman's Palace Car Company for $11, 309, 200.
