Pleasure Dome (railcar)
The Pleasure Domes are a fleet of six streamlined dome lounge cars built by Pullman-Standard for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway ("Santa Fe") in 1950. The cars were used exclusively on the ''Super Chief'' from their introduction in 1950 until the end of Santa Fe passenger service in 1971. Amtrak retained all six cars and continued to operate them until 1980 when they were retired. All six were preserved. The Pleasure Dome, with its famed "Turquoise Room" private dining room, contributed to the ''Super Chief''s reputation for elegance and luxury. The name is derived from a line in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem ''Kubla Khan''.
