Hoosier dome?
Author: jdw3460

I just noticed what looked like a Hoosier dome car on the tail of the Capitol at Hyndman this morning.  Is that a private car or is Amtrak getting ready to repaint it or something?

Amtrak's one-and-only dome car is operating on the Hoosier State unitl the end of March.

There have been numerous TO posts on this subject during the past several weeks.

Was it brown? That would make sense that you would connect it to the OLD Hoosier State, but Iowa Pacific has more than one dome as well. Definitely not going to Amtrak for repaint. Most likely private joy riders.

Indeed - Summit View - SLRG 554 - released from Hoosier State service and headed to Charlotte for the 611 trips in the coming weeks....

I got to ride that car on the Hoosier State before it went to hell...er....back to Amtrak.  She's a beauty and rides sweet.  Better than the domes on the VIA Canadian.
