History |
|
| Built: | 1995 |
| Ran as: | Florida Fun Train (RRCX?) 9005 (demonstrator. Not used), Alaska Railroad (ARR) 2000. |
Notes: This car was built for service on the Florida Fun Train, but was never delivered due to passenger safety concerns with the rear platform. After spending a season in lease service to the Rocky Mountaineer, it reposed until purchased by the Alaska Railroad in 1999. Today, this car is used in charter service system-wide. It is unique in being the only single level dome built with an observation platform, and also is the only non-coach CRC dome of any type presently in service. This car was constructed using the center sill from a former Milwaukee Road (or possibly Soo) car shell. It will accomodate up to 34 guests, and has private washrooms and a small galley. |
