Join us on August 14th, 17th, and 18th for an exclusive peek into the history of this exceptional sleeper car.
From a time when rail passenger services faced fierce competition from airlines and automobiles the BUDD Slumbercoaches were innovative creations designed to counter this threat. Among these, the No. 7701 “Dreamland Sleeper” stands out as one of only two operated by the B&O.
It offered passengers the luxury of small private rooms at an affordable price—a true gem in the world of overnight travel. Operating between Baltimore (later Washington D.C.) and Chicago, it first served the coach-only Columbian before becoming a part of the Capital Limited, which featured coaches alongside first-class Pullman cars.
Step aboard rail history in August and discover the legacy of the B&O No. 7701 “Dreamland Sleeper.” Experience the charm and allure of a bygone era as we delve into the innovation and comfort that made overnight rail travel an unforgettable experience!
