I rode the Coast Starlight a number of times in the 1970s while I was a student at UC Santa Barbara. I remember at first the Starlight had ex-SP domes. As a railfan, I thought it was cool to be riding in an ex-SP dome over the SP. In truth, one couldn't see very well through much of the dome which had panels which were smoked or fogged up.
Around 1979, the ex-Santa Fe domes started appearing on the Starlight.
