Amtrak domes
Posted by blue streak 1 on Wednesday, November 13, 2013 7:08 PM

Most are aware that Amtrak is running its one operating dome on Midwestern trains around Thanksgiving..  For a long time it has been assumed that is the only active dome. 

Examining the Amtrak fleet plan version 3.1 on page 55 attachment 1 shows 6 dome heritage cars.  Earlier versions also show them on the roster.  Anyone know their state of repair at Beech Grove ?

here is link -----------

if you read more carefully, it lumps the Pacific Parlor Cars into the count.
