Alaska Railroad Passenger Coach (Dome)

Description
The Alaska Railroad has at least three dome cars in their fleet (numbers 521, 522 and 523), though this re-skin is specifically based on car No. 522

ARR 522 was built by the Budd Company in 1954, originally for the Northern Pacific as their number 555. Later on she ended up with Amtrak as their number 9482. In 1983, the coach was converted to run on Head-End Power and renumbered to 9403. The Alaska Railroad bought the coach in 1999, and renumbered her to 522.

In case you don’t know what a dome car is, it’s a passenger coach with a raised ‘dome’ section in the roof. The dome always has big windows, allowing excellent views of the surrounding landscape.
