Metal WheelsKnuckle CouplersBrake WheelTinted Windows CLERESTORY CARIn architecture, a clerestory (lit. 'clear storey', also clearstory, clearstorey, or overstorey; from Old French cler estor) is a high section of wall that contains windows above eye-level. Its purpose is to admit light, fresh air, or both. Similar structures have been used in transportation vehicles to provide additional lighting, ventilation, or headroom.Clerestory roofs were used on railway cars (known as "clerestory cars") from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1930s. "Based on the principle that hot air rises, the clerestory was able to vent the hottest air out through the transoms at the top, which allowed (slightly) cooler air to enter through the side passenger windows. In an era before air-conditioning, on a hot and muggy summer day a breeze is much better than no breeze, so the clerestory improved passenger comfort considerably. The only drawback was the dust and occasional cinders that would be drawn in as well-- which may be why the very first air-conditioned railroad car was the Dining Car on Santa Fe's "DeLuxe" of 1911." The first Pullman coaches had clerestory roofs.
