Lar,
What is the difference between a dome car and an observation car? Is a dome
car just an observation car that fits in the middle of a train? By my
interpretation even though both the "Club Car" and my observation car[1] have
observation domes the "Club Car" would be a dome car, but my observation car is
an observation car because it designed to go at the end of a train. Is this right?
Thanks,
Chris
