Folks thank you so much for the quick answers. <br />I'll not be before early September in the Portland area (after returning from Canada from a trip with the Skeena) so there is some time left. <br />After some "mind searching" I guess that the note (or article) in TRAINS Magazine appeared sometimes BEFORE mid 1993. <br />Because during a visit to Portland in mid 1993 I did know about that Dome car, but had then only one day for this town. <br />My relatives did not know about this and so we went to the Organ Grinder somewhere in Portland. <br /> <br />A note about that visit in 1993 is: <br />Using the Coast Starlight from Albany,OR to Seatle,WA I was surprised to see a box car of RI (yes the "good ol'" Rock Island) in a freight yard. The guess however is that this time I have no luck to see a RI box (or any) car, despite all the trips with Amtrak this time. NOL to CHI / CHI to SLC / Reno to E'ville / Oakland to Albany, the before mentioned Skeena trip and back with Bus and (connecting) TALGO to (you guessed it) Portland,OR. <br />Herby from Darmstadt <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
