Next up is Northern Sky Charters' Northern Dream dome car. It’s the former Union Pacific No. 9003, built in 1955 by American Car & Foundry, sister to the #9001 over at the Adirondack Railroad. It spent its years on the Union Pacific in the consist of the City of Los Angeles. Then in 1973, the original Auto-Train Corp. purchased the car, rebuilt it into a “Maxi-Dome” and used it on trains between Virginia and Florida. Eventually, in 1992, the car was purchased by David Hoffman and rebuilt at Northern Rail Car |
