Domeliners: Yesterday’s Trains of Tomorrow

By Karl Zimmerman

Take a trip to the 1950s in luxurious dome cars. Billed as the “trains of tomorrow,” dome cars wrapped passengers in comfort while providing fabulous scenery. Karl Zimmerman takes you back to the days when rail travel meant panoramic views of dramatic landscapes. In this extensively illustrated book, Zimmerman traces the history of dome cars and the hype that made them emblematic of an era when traveling by train in the United States was not just fast and luxurious, it was fun.
