And then... if you jump forward a couple of decades to the early streamliner era, here's the Milwaukee Road Cedar Rapids skytop solarium observation (inside-looking-out view) in a luxury class all to its own! Now THIS is riding in style...
I stumbled across this image recently while doing some research on Lionel's Milwaukee Road Northern S-3 locomotive, which I finally found at a not-so-local LHS , albeit I took delivery of #267. The above image comes from the www.261.com website, in reference to the #261 excursion train running today. SWEET!!!
