I've read posts over the years refering to the Friends of 261's Super Dome. I'm thinking it's a car (private varnish?) that hitches a ride on Amtrak???? I believe rtabern has mentioned it a few times!

The friends of the 261 have an AMAZING collection of matching equipment. Just saw most of it at the Train Festival in Rock Island. The super dome is a lovely car, but even better is the completely unique Cedar Rapids tail car. Really nice set-up.

You're absolutely right. I think that the Cedar Rapids is the finest car that still rides American rails. After three trips with both the Super Dome and the Cedar Rapids, both Mrs. Ispolkom and I have noticed that eventually, everyone ends up in the Cedar Rapids. Even when the beer is in the Super Dome.
