Needs a raised platform on the southern side of the tracks as well. Also it would be great if the platforms were covered to protect passengers from the elements
The Ocean View is an Ex-Great Northern "Great Dome" built by the Budd Company. It's predecessor was the "Big Dome" build by Budd for the Santa Fe. The Milwaukee Road full length domes were called "Super Dome" and were built by Pullman-Standard. Just wanted to make sure you got your Domeology correct. :D
No wonder it runs late. Why all the faffing about and pulling the train forward. Just build a platform at the correct height and allow passengers to get on and off at will. Easy.
