In 1954-1955, SP built one prototype and six production
Dome Lounge cars in their Sacramento General Shops,
using select frame pieces from various retired Pullman-Standard
pre-war “Daylight” cars. The Budd Company
supplied the dome structure as a kit. The interiors of the cars
featured a bar/lounge on the lower level and one
of two different configurations of seating on the upper level.
Pressed into service on the San Joaquin and Shasta Daylights as
well as the Overland. In the 1960s, they were
used on the consolidated City of San Francisco and the Coast Daylight.
Built with fluted side panels, the cars
were modified by the SP with slab sides in the 1960s with some of
the fleet later operating for Amtrak on a
variety of routes through the 1970s.
Developed with a team of firsthand SP Dome Lounge experts, authors,
and an actual car owner, these iconic cars
are sure be a standout feature on your N scale passenger trains!
