A key part of Union Pacific's public relations programs are the 48 historic passenger cars that make up the Heritage Fleet. Many were originally purchased for the famed City Streamliners, and have been carefully restored to full operating condition. Today, they're finished in a modern version of the famed Armour Yellow scheme, and carry names of important cities, earlier trains and key people in the railroad's long history. In service these rolling goodwill ambassadors travel system-wide and beyond, often behind UP's restored steam and diesel locos, to attend a wide range of public and special events every year.
As UP transformed its Streamliners into Domeliners in 1955, 15 new Dome-Lounge Observations were delivered to bring up the rear of the flagship streamliners. Within a year however this proved to be a problem. The cars quickly lost their unique ends and were rebuilt as Dome-Lounges. Named for the famed UP-SP-CNW Streamliner, the prototype has its original windows and lighting for use at the end of the train.
Add some light to your UP City cars with these interior lighting kits For DC/DCC layouts:
PLEASE NOTE: As these cars are the correct prototype length and feature full underbody detail to match the prototypes, a minimum 24" radius is recommended for operation.
