Private trains had Toy Haulers. No caboose. The end car had openings to both sides so a Stutz Bearcat or Deusenberg could slip onto the platform.
I am a minor grade buff of private rail car trains. There were only a few express trains with their own locomotives. One reason was at the end of a freight haul (those had cabooses) it was out of the way of wood or coal smoke, and noise.
Cars of course varied, but the upper echelon had multiples. Bedroom with private parlor and bath, the salon, and dining. Then there was a berthing car for the servants.
The most popular East/West route was southern. It missed the trying grades of the Rockies and Sierras and Cascades.
Shagbark hickory was the favorite gasoline of the wealthy. It produced less smoke and had a sweet odor. Coal was the worst smelling. Coal was used for power and endurance.
Push that "Johnson Bar(throttle)" and "follow the 'leader' (cow catcher is the term novices use)"
