SP Plans Six More Type Dome Lounge Cars
Southern Pacific announces construction of six additional type dome lounge cars following a successful test model shown in Texas and Louisiana last month. President D J Russell says orders stem from strong passenger reaction during test runs. First cars should be ready for regular service in March next year on premier trains, with schedules to be determined. The new cars feature terracing of upper and lower lounge sections so every seat is under the dome on the upper level.
