One wonders what the interior decorator that selected the decor for his private railroad car was thinking, but the late Mr. Lucius Beebe, chronicler of society in his New York Herald Tribune and San Francisco Examiner newspaper columns, bon vivant and one of the best dressed men in America, maintained the practice of dressing for dinner throughout his lifetime. A long-time customer of Henry Poole, he most likely introduced Herb Caen, perhaps the last well-dressed San Francisco journalist, to that house. Beebe here combines a gray smoking jacket with iced champagne.
It is good to maintain standards.

Looks like he's kicking it Gangnam Style.
Wow! LB lost all sense of propriety when it came to interior of private rail car. (More like a bordello.)
The Simplon Orient Express is a beautiful example of luxurious rail travel done well.
Although I don't know about the style of the private railroad car, I do agree that it is important to maintain standards. As a 20 something that likes to dress well I have found my self feeling over dressed sometimes. Luckily more and more younger people are understanding the importance of dressing well.
