Dome cars

[NW Modeling List]

John,
The dome car was originally purchased from the original Auto-Train by the 
now-defunct Bristol & Northwestern of Bristol, VA (known also as the 
operators of CB&Q 4960). The car was painted in a maroon (closer to the CP 
color than the N&W tuscan) with a very light grey roof. The car only made 
one trip over the line because A-T had removed the outside swing hangar 
snubbers causing the car to rock violently from side to side due to 
trackage.
