List,
Attached is a drawing I had in my collection which might represent what was
called a skeleton vestibule. Around the turn of the Century vestibules were
new and figured prominently in ads for passenger trains.

As the American passenger car developed from open platforms to full width
enclosed vestibules, they went through a short period of "narrow vestibules"
which consisted of posts from the ends of th steps to the roof. They
supported diaphragms and folding doors at the top of the steps. Perhaps
someone on the Lackawanna christened them "skeleton vestibules?"
