Union Pacific first employed General Motors' "Train of Tomorrow" in 1950, effectively launching the "Domeliner" era. These viewing cars were so popular that they were put into service across the country. Here a group is eating in the dome diner, a car uniquely offered by Union Pacific on its best Domeliners. No other railroad had them.
