SALE/TRADE: Budd Full Domes - 8 for Sale

Holland America has received its new domes with more to be delivered in the 2004. As a result we are selling eight out of ten of our ex-Santa Fe Full Length Domes:

  • #507 - Susitna
  • #508 - Matanuska
  • #510 - Chulitna
  • #511 - Nenana
  • #512 - Tanana
  • #513 - Talkeetna
  • #553 - Kashwitna
  • #554 - Eklutna

    These cars have been in service on the Alaska Railroad starting in 1987. Rebuilt 1986-1994 and with the earlier rebuilds done again in 1995-1996.

    Set up with 66 forward facing, booth and side facing seats upstairs and 22 dining room seats and kitchen downstairs, these cars were in daily summer time service through the 2003 season. These cars are considered by many to be the premium heritage equipment in operation today.

    There are only 17 of these cars in existence and only two in private (non railroad) ownership outside of our fleet. This is a rare opportunity. These cars are excellent touring cars but would be a great addition to any train.

    Features:

  • FRA compliant with Part 223 glass and emergency windows.
  • Carrier/Sutrak A/C
  • HEP
  • 27 pin
  • Generators
  • Holding tanks
  • Six wheel trucks
  • EEs

    Priced at $500,000-$550,000 each depending on specifications/condition. Spares available. Available for inspection in Anchorage in September. Serious inquires only. Reply to ad for information and pictures.
