Burlington Silver Dome Railroad Car Replica
A replica of the first Vista Dome 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 Silver Dome 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 Astra Dome, Silver Terrace, and other modifications retained their popularity through the twilight of the American passenger train service despite heaviness and higher seat cost.

This is a photo of a woman (possibly Charlotte Littlefield) from the collection of Joseph Littlefield's papers belonging to Terri and Dave Mabon. Dave Mabon is Joseph Littlefield's great-grandson. Born in Peoria County, Illinois in 1842, Joseph Littlefield served almost three years in the Civil War as a private in company C of 102nd Illinois volunteer regiment. After the war he returned to Illinois and married Hellen Crandle. In 1879 Joseph Littlefield and his family that included his mother Joanna, who was 71 at the time, came to Nebraska Clear Creek area, Sherman County to homestead. Hellen died in 1881 and six years later Joseph, now 47, married 24 year-old Lotta (Charlotte) Roberts, and had 7 more children with her, of whom only 5 survived. Charlotte's family came to Nebraska from Illinois in 1864 to homestead in Cass County. The style of the photograph is similar to earlier portraits of Joseph Littlefield (Joseph Littlefield, Cabinet Card(2) and Joseph Littlefield, Cabinet Card(1)). The face of the woman is similar to that of Joseph's second wife Charlotte (Charlotte Littlefield's Portrait Photograph), but differences in the eyes and hairstyle suggest that ruling out the possibility of the photo being that of Hellen Littlefield, Joseph's first wife, might be premature.
