Canadian Railroads > Question for CN Passenger Car Experts.Date: 08/30/15 16:22 Question for CN Passenger Car Experts. Author: mopacrr On another thread a few days ago on the Steam Page, a photo of one of the ex Milw Super Domes appeared. At first . I thought maybe it was one of the ex CN Super Domes the CN purchased from the Milw in 64,but it could be one of the ones the Milw retained. It got me wondering how many of the ex CN Super Domes are still in Canada and where are they? I believe VIA retired all of them in 82 but have lost track of where they went.

Author: zartok-35 Apparently none of the Sceneramic Superdomes are still in Canada; all of them were eventually sold to Tourism interests, 4 went to San Francisco, 2 of them went to Alaska. My friend Eric Gagnon wrote a blog post about it a couple years ago. Ironically, the most recent Superdome to be used in Canada, on the BCR Pacific Starlight, was one of the un-sold Milwaukee cars.

I stumbled into the dome car index,which I didn't realize was there. I knew there was a business car index, and I should have known there would be a dome car index.
