what is it?

Waltersburg is a heavyweight Pullman sleeping car named for a city in Western Pennsylvania. The unit was built by the Pullman Company in 1924 as 12-section 1-drawing room heavyweight sleeper (colloquially a “12-1”). The car featured open sections with fold-down upper berths and lower berths made by folding the seats down in each section, and a drawing room — a large enclosed room with three berths and its own toilet and sink.
