[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by daveklepper</i> <br /><br />You are right. But then the standard ACF dome was longer then the typical Budd dome, maybe twice as long. The SP had similar domes, not as diners, but as lounge cars, for the Shasta Daylight. You sharpened my memory and I can state as a fact that the UP dome diners had domes about twice as long as a standard Budd dome. I also rode the Shasta Daylight's dome. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Dave and passengers aboard the thread, <br />I'm looking at some UP dome-diner pics right now and their dome is exactly the same length as a Burlington dome. Six windows. The UP dome diners don't show anything but 4 wheel trucks. But you maybe thinking of the Santa Fe El Cap diners that had 6 wheel trucks and rode well. <br />The SP home-brew domes were in between a full length and a shorty dome. <br /> <br />Mitch
