You best provide a prototype photo then. That second dome is backwards as mentioned above.   RS

The CPR always ran their "Skyline" cars (Budd mid-train short domes) long end forward.  VIA decided at some point to reverse this practice.  It messes up the lighting in the dome this way.

In reference to the CPR, I'm pretty sure that was what I was implying.  VIA practices were not relevent.
