              <text>&lt;p&gt;A replica of the first &lt;em&gt;Vista Dome&lt;/em&gt; 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 &lt;em&gt;Silver Dome&lt;/em&gt; 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 &lt;em&gt;Astra Dome&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Silver Terrace&lt;/em&gt;, and other modifications retained their popularity through the twilight of the American passenger train service despite heaviness and higher seat cost.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
