About bed cars:
Bed cars, also known as bed wagons or cabins, are railway carriages designed to carry passengers lying in beds. These small personal spaces have a mattress, bedding as well as a washbasin, toilet and sometimes a shower.
We owe the appearance of the 1st bed carriages to George Pullman in 1863 in the United States, and to Georges Nagelmackers for the first appearance on the European continent.
