      I am trying to find out when domes were assigned to the MRE. From reading other posts, it seems only Budd domes were used, but when they appeared is a mystery to me. It had to be after 1948. Also, when were the observation cars remove from the MRE?

      Thanks

        See the Fall 2023 issue of the MPHS Eagle for details on dome assignments to the Missouri River Eagle over the years. The 26-seat drawing room parlor observation cars were replaced with straight parlor cars in June 1961, with the change date reported as June 8, 1961.
