Bertha Story

Item #5218

(April, 1993) Surely the Cairn Railroad would not be complete without a Pullman train car. On this overnight journey Bertha has the upper berth. After making up her sleeping compartment Pullman fetched her several warm blankets and an unusual pillow, so that her head can really hit the sack. The rhythm of the train has her sleeping like the log next to the tracks. Her coin is a railroad token from Washington, DC. Bertha thinks that taking the train is a capital idea, and most likely she’s dreaming of the wonderful breakfast that awaits her in the dining car the next morning.
