Sleeping Cars
Sleeping cars are specialized railway cars designed for overnight travel, providing passengers with comfortable sleeping accommodations. These cars typically feature private compartments or rooms with beds, allowing travelers to rest during long journeys. Amenities may include bedding, washbasins, and sometimes even en-suite bathrooms.
The concept of sleeping cars dates back to the 19th century, with the first known sleeping car introduced by George Pullman. Today, many train services, including Amtrak in the United States and various European rail companies, offer sleeping car options to enhance the travel experience for passengers seeking comfort and convenience.
