Title
A name given to the resource
Burlington <em>Silver Dome </em>Railroad Car Replica
Description
An account of the resource
<p>A replica of the first <em>Vista Dome</em> car that Mr Moore boarded to return home after serving in the army in 1945. Eager to fulfill the public's expectation for post-war innovation, Burlington took the GM designers' idea to Aurora workshops to produce the first <em>Silver Dome</em> car. Remodeled from a stainless-steel coach the car used only flat sheets glass; wartime production did not allow for the curved glass GM designers projected. The car made its debut on the Burlington railroad in July 1945 and became very popular: for the first time twenty-four lucky passengers could enjoy terrific natural vistas from the top of the car as the train crossed the Great Plains. The <em>Astra Dome</em>, <em>Silver Terrace</em>, and other modifications retained their popularity through the twilight of the American passenger train service despite heaviness and higher seat cost.</p>
