question about new empire builder

[sutton]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if the Beech Grove car is now going to be at the end of each EB consist--or was that a special event? Also, are they running domes now? Perhaps the newly refurbished lounge has dome-like windows. Thanks for any info

No the Beech Grove Car was only for the special 1st run.

No, the Beech Grove was only used as a special one time deal since Mr. Gunn was onboard and they were relaunching the train. The newly refurbished lounge has the same wrap-around windows on the second floor just like it used to, the only difference is the arrangement of the interior seating. I wouldn't expect to see any true domes on the Empire Builder anytime soon.

Bummer, but still, it's a great train and I'm looking forward to the new lounge
