Offers "Gold Leaf" dome service on their excursion trains. Cars were built by Rader Railcar and are conversions of ex SP "gallery" commute cars from the old SF commuter fleet.
They are a bi-level dome car seating 72 under the glass and having a lounge, galley, and observation platform on the lower level.
Car 9501 was ordered/delivered 1994/1995 and three additional cars (9502-9504) were added 1996/1997.
In September 1999, 2 additional cars (9505 & 9507) were added, so that 3 domes could operate on each train set, and 2 more cars were reported to be on order (6/2000).
