Everybody loves a good dome car, and both Canadian Pacific and VIA Rail have almost always run The Canadian with a minimum of two per train. Since the late 1990s, four domes has been the de-facto standard in the high season. ANd like the other Budd cars, Skylines have also been standard fare on the Atlantic, Ocean and other trains. Heck - we even chartered our own Skyline back in 2015!

The Skyline cars feature two different interior arrangements:

• Dome-Coach (1955-1983) has coach seats on the lower level of the long end and operates long-end forward.

• Dome-Coffee Shop (1983-present) has a coffee shop on the lower level of the long end and operates short-end (lounge) forward.

The Rapido Mid-Train Dome Car features:

• Fully decorated and assembled with factory installed grab irons

• Realistic stainless steel finish

• Full underbody detail with air, steam and electrical lines

• Fully detailed and decorated interiors - both asbuilt and rebuilt coffee-shop

• Window blinds at different heights for each car

• Operating diaphragms with etched-metal end gates

• Magnetic metal knuckle couplers at the correct height

• Free-rolling trucks with metal wheelsets

• Track-powered interior lighting including dome lights

• 22” Minimum radius (can be modified for 18” minimum)
