Inscription on back: "In 1917, the Pullman Company rebuilt three sleeping cars as traveling laboratories for the American Red Cross. They were used to control epidemics and were named for doctors who made important contributions in the field of communicable diseases: Reed, Metchinkoff, Pasteur. The 1913 model, also a rebuilt Pullman, was operated by the 'Asociation Mexicana de la Cruz Roja'-- the Mexican Red Cross."

From Edison films catalog: It is train time. We look down the long platform, crowded with people, and see the famous N.P. Railway Overland Express approaching rapidly. In a moment the engine passes by, slowing down. Then comes one, two, three, four express cars, and behind them seven coaches and Pullmans. Passengers alight, baggage is unloaded, friends greet each other, station men run here and there, the whole scene being one of great interest and activity.
