I was doing a bit of research for Les who had posted a thread at http://forum.zealot.com/t158173/ and while paging through some consists of Fallen Flags at http://rr-fallenflags.org/atsf/atsf-41pax.html in hopes of finding something useful for him I came across this car classification:

Pullman line.

Train No 5
Chicago - Kansas City
Chicago - Kansas City
1 Jim Crow (AC) Chicago - Galvaston
I know that racial segregation was standard practice in many parts of the country into the 60's and later, and I have heard the name Jim Crow used in conjunction with that segregation. I had just never heard of a passenger rail car classified as such. Now perhaps I am jumping to conclusions, so is there anyone out there that can shed some light on this situation?
