Location and general description of property.—The common-carrier property of The Pullman Company consists chiefly of standard and tourist sleeping cars, parlor cars, composite cars, private cars, and dining cars. Such cars are assigned for use in passenger-train service to most of the railroads operating in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, under contracts providing in general that The Pullman Company owns, operates, and maintains the cars and retains the revenues accruing therefrom in whole or in part. The names of railroad companies over whose lines The Pullman Company conducts operations are given in Appendix 2, under leased railway property.

In conjunction with the operations of its cars, The Pullman Company has repair shops and 23.020 miles of standard-gage yard tracks and sidings located at Buffalo, N. Y., Calumet (Chicago), Ill., Richmond, Calif., St. Louis, Mo., and Wilmington, Del. It also owns and uses minor miscellaneous structures and shop machinery located in important railroad yards and terminals throughout the United States.

The Pullman Company also owns in addition to property mentioned above, 1.496 miles of double-main track and 5.489 miles of yard tracks and sidings, all standard gage, located between One hundred and fourth and One hundred and fifteenth Streets, Chicago, Ill., which it leases for exclusive use to the Pullman Railroad Company which it controls.
