    In Search of Domes

    I know Amtrak's Great Dome will be part of The Adirondack's consist again this autumn, and it got me thinking: where else can one still ride aboard a dome car? Superliner Sightseer lounge cars are okay, but somehow the old dome cars seem cooler! What are some of your favorite dome car memories...

    History Question

    Amtrak's Pioneer

    I'm glad I got to ride The Pioneer from Salt Lake City to Seattle while it was still running. I rode it in a Superliner Economy Sleeper. I was traveling around the USA on one of those All-Aboard passes you could buy for unlimited Amtrak travel coast-to-coast. Being from the East Coast, I was...
