Great Dome (railcar)

Amtrak retained all six cars and they continued to run on the Empire Builder before new Superliners displaced them at the end of the decade, after which they saw service elsewhere in the system before the last one being retired in 2019.

The lower level featured a cocktail lounge decorated with the art of the Haida people, who hailed from the Pacific Northwest.

Management thought that the cost of heating and cooling the dome interiors would be prohibitively expensive given the hot summers and cold winters along the Hi-Line.

[6] Amtrak rebuilt three of the cars for head end power (HEP) and they remained on the roster into the 1990s on the Auto Train.

Amtrak retained one, Ocean View, as part of its business car fleet and for special use on regular routes,[7][8][9] such as the Downeaster service during leaf peeping season.
