About the train (2): dome cars

There are three dome cars on the train: one for coach passengers and two for sleeper car passengers. The first of the sleeper dome cars is the "activity" car and the second, which is much fancier, is the last car on the train. The fancy dome car is called the Park car, since all cars of that class are named after National parks. I don't think that the standard dome cars get names.

The activity car is where all the informational/fun activities are held, e.g., beer & wine tastings. bingo, and informational talks about the train or about the landscape we are traveling through.

The coach dome and the activity dome look very similar, but the activity car has free snacks (cookies, muffins, fruit) and drinks (coffee, tea, juice) laid out all day.

The Park car is very obviously the most recently remodeled of all the cars. It has a few Prestige sleeper compartments, as well as a bar area, lounge area, and the dome. The lounge area has the rear view window for the train. Czytaj więcej
