Nagelmackers founds the sleeping-car company at Liège

node

Georges Nagelmackers establishes at Liège the company that becomes the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits, after seeing Pullman's night trains in the United States in 1867–68. The company will own carriages and staff but no track, contracting with national railways to attach its stock to their trains — the arrangement that makes an international luxury service possible in a Europe of incompatible national railway administrations.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.

  25. Evidence
  26. Supports Nagelmackers' birth at Liège on 25 June 1845, his death at Villepreux on 10 August 1905, his 1867–68 American journey and the founding of the Wagons-Lits company at Liège on 1 October 1872. V55 verification basis: the portal's dated entry and its founding-date headline were carried in attributed search results; the page was not fetched.
  27. Supports the founding of the Compagnie Internationale des Wagons-Lits on 1 October 1872 and its sleeping-car operating model. V55 verification basis: the museum dossier appeared in search with its founding date in the document title; the PDF was not retrieved and its contents were not read.
