Jenny Lind private railroad car
The Jenny Lind private railroad car is the first specifically outfitted private railway coach. It was used on Jenny Lind's singing tour of the United States.
== History ==
The idea of a private railroad car came out of need. P. T. Barnum brought the well known soprano singer Jenny Lind to America from Sweden for a singing concert performance tour. He did much advance publicity even before she arrived in the United States, under the ''Nom des artes'' of the "Swedish Nightingale." There were thousands of people that followed her wherever she went. The newspapers coined the term "Lind mania" because of all the crowds that gather around her.〔Linkon, Sherry Lee. ("Reading Lind Mania: Print Culture and the Construction of Nineteenth-Century Audiences", ) ''Book History'', Vol. 1 (1998), pp. 94–106 〕 She and her husband were much annoyed by the many disrespectful interviewers that wanted to know all about the newly wed couple.〔 〕 To solve the problem Barnum designed a special railroad car for Jenny's comfort so she could tour the nation and escape the crowds of people that wanted to speak to her.〔 〕
The first private railroad car ever made was then born for Jenny Lind and her 1850-52 concert tour across the United States.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕
