Sleeping car companies acquired by Pullman's Palace Car Company.
Founded in 1870, the Erie and Atlantic Sleeping Coach Company was bought by Pullman in 1873. The Southern Transportation Company, founded in 1865 and controlled by the Central Transporation Company, was leased by Pullman in 1870 for $20,000 per year as part of the larger Central Transportation Co. deal. The Southern's lines became part of Pullman's new subsidiary, the Pullman Southern Car Company. In 1878, Pullman purchased the Southern Transportation Co. for $90,000. In 1913, Pullman purchased the sleeping car business of New York, New Haven, and Hartford Railroad, in the process gaining 252 sleeping, parlor, and composite New Haven cars.
