Recensione:

"Night Trains is a lively account of the Pullman enterprise during the golden years of its operation -- from 1920 to 1955 -- when the remarkable sleeping car system routinely played host to more than 50,000 guests nightly." -- Railfan & Railroad Magazine

""A compelling tribute to a bygone time when getting there was half the fun... An education for the young and a scrapbook for those who remember." -- Herald-Dispatch
