Early trains ran the gamut from workhorses used to transport coal and goods to more upscale ways for the rich to travel. In early train jargon, what was known as a "Pullman"?

The Pullman cars were used by passengers to stay overnight on long-haul train rides. In Europe, the term Pullman also referred to the dining or lounge cars, specifically the ones offered by the Pullman Company. They were named for George Pullman, an American engineer and industrialist.
