Jim Date: 05/25/23 04:40 Re: Dome Car Author: agent1522 GSJX 501 is ex Amtrak 9351, exx ATSF 501 Pleasure Dome. The proposed name for this car would have been Plaza Laguna but the names were never added. They entered service with numbers only. Built by Pullman Standard in December 1950 for the Super Chief.
