Re: Did You Ever See So Many Domes on a Train?

I've seen some of the multi-domed UP specials, but never a revenue train with that many cars under glass.

Fred Frailey, in his book "Zephyrs, Chiefs and Other Orphans" about the first five years of Amtrak, lists a pre-Amtrak consist of the combined Twin Zephyr/Empire Builder/North Coast Limited that included 10 domes: two TCZ coaches, three EB coaches and a full-length-lounge, two NCL coaches and two NCL sleepers, one of them with a "lounge in the sky".

The pictured train is a combined EB/NCL, judging by the dome types and color schemes, but without the TCZ cars and the second pair of NCL cars.
