In the first few years after Amtrak took over, former railroad-owned dome cars began emerging in the new carrier's corporate colors. With their elevated rooflines and wrap-over windows, these cars were passenger favorites. Replicas of former GN Empire Builder cars are based on cars acquired by Amtrak at its startup.
This car features modernized car ends (added by Amtrak) and HEP details.
