The GN Big Domes.... GN had one for each Empire Builder Set 6 total with 1
being owned by the Q, "River View". I have never seen a picture of one of
the big domes running in the CZ or the DZ. I really doubt that it ever
happened although it would have been really nice to have seen. Amtrak kept
the big domes on the Builder the only full type dome that I have ever seen
running on the Burlington was after Amtrak when the ex SP 3/4 full domes used
to run in the SF Zephyr, 5 & 6.
