Domeliner City of Denver

As previously noted here, the Union Pacific made the City of Denver a domeliner in 1957 and 1958 by adding Milwaukee Road full-length domes. This 1958 brochure updates an earlier one by adding the word “Domeliner” to the cover.

Inside, one of the photos shows the interior of a dome car. But it’s not a Milwaukee super dome; instead, it is one of UP’s dome coaches built by American Car & Foundry, probably for the City of Portland. The accompanying text says “the City of Denver has a coach with a dome-lounge room.” Of course, the super domes weren’t coaches, but they were dome lounges. It’s possible UP sometimes ran one of its own dome-coaches on the Denver train.
