Here's a photo I took on August 24, 1976, FORTY-SIX YEARS AGO, when I made a one-week trip to British Columbia and Alberta. As seen from CN Train 1, the westbound Super Continental, this is an interior shot of the full-length ex-Milwaukee Road, Pullman-Standard built dome car Fraser.

One of the complaints about these cars was that the seats were sunken a little too far down into the car structure and if you were to turn your head 90 degrees for a side-view, you were basically looking at a window sill.

Note the elderly gentleman on the left wearing a jacket and tie. You don't see that much anymore these days. Also note the attendant staffing the upper level bar. Amtrak's Superliner lounges were similarly equipped, but I don't believe they were ever staffed.
