A few more impressions from today’s trip on board the #AlaskaRailroad 🇺🇸 “Denali Star” #DomeCar. It was built in the 1950s by Pullman Standard for the Union Pacific “City of St. Louis” Streamliner. There’s the “Dome” in the middle of the car, as well as two “Coach” areas on either side of the Dome.

There isn’t a proper #DiningCar on the VIA Rail 🇨🇦 train from #Churchill, MB. It’s the lower level of the #domecar that steps in as a diner. The meals, although just reheated on board, are surprisingly tasty. And the lounge, with its 1950s design, is a wonderful place to stretch out and relax.

Seen in #Munich 🇩🇪 yesterday - and already several times earlier on, at the same spot: the private #Railadventure #Luxon, a former #DB #Rheingold #TransEuropExpress #TEE #DomeCar. Just five of them were built, in the 1960s. The car seems to have its home base here in Munich.

Seen while arriving at #Munich 🇩🇪 Central Station: a #DomeCar, most likely privately owned. These cars used to be part of the #Rheingold #TransEuropExpress consist in the 1970s.
