Information Wanted:

We are aware that African Americans played a critical role in Railroad Dining Car and Pullman operations, and we intend to research this history as part of our project. If any one of our visitors to our site had a family member employed in Dining Car or Pullman operations, we would appreciate hearing from you so we may contact you for additional information. We would also like to form a committee of members to further research this important aspect of American and African-American history.
