Especially given the years in which they were built. Truly icons of the industrial revolution.

A few years ago, we rode the Empire Builder from Portland to Fargo and they had a dome car on that trip for us to use. I really wouldn’t mind a multi-day trip again sometime.

I grew up in Omaha and we took the San Francisco Zephyr to California to visit my grandparents more than once. My favorite memory is of the dome car with its fantastic views.

That bell sound brings back my early memories of trains and stations.

The sound of the bell reminds of the past when bells were ringing everywhere, in schools, hotels to announce the meal … and trains or level crossings.

I never pass up a chance to ride an old train!

We have a few at the Sacramento Train Museum. I need to go back there because they have redone it. Every weekend families can ride on the old trains down out of Sacramento and back. It’s a fun ride.

You are welcome. These beautiful machines so much reflect the optimism of the industrial revolution.
