Great Dome
The Great Domes are a fleet of six streamlined dome lounge cars built by the Budd Company for the Great Northern Railway and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad in 1955. The cars were used exclusively on the ''Empire Builder'' from their introduction in 1955 until the end of private passenger service in 1971. Amtrak retained all six cars and they continued to run on the ''Empire Builder'' before new Superliners displaced them at the end of the decade, after which they saw service elsewhere in the system. The Great Domes were similar in design to the Big Domes Budd built for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. == Design == The Great Domes were "virtually identical" to the Big Dome lounges Budd constructed for the Santa Fe in 1954. The top level featured coach-style seating for 57, plus a lounge area which could seat an additional 18 on sofas and in booths. The lower level featured a cocktail lounge decorated with the art of the Haida people, who hailed from the Pacific Northwest.
