Re: What's Your Favorite Round-end Observation Car?

The Silver Sky, in Rio Grande Zephyr days, is a personal favorite, as I sat in the dome watching an E/B coal MT's pass the Thistle Land Slide, back in April, 1983. Then it was our turn to creep over the bulging, out of alignment track before proceeding to SLC. Alas, the dome / obs was utterly useless the next day, when detouring back to Denver on the EwePee through " Wonderful Wyoming."
Although I've never been inside one, I would think it's hard to top the amount of window glass in a Milwaukee Sky Top Obs.
