Domes In Durham |
Description: |
Well here is the surprise that I found in Durham. While PO80 was getting closer to me after taking the first shot, I notice somrthing strange bringing up the rear of the Carolinian. As it got closer I notice a dome peeking up over the rest of the Amfleet coach's. And what should appear, but a Northen Pacific Budd dome car!, but lettered for the CB&Q |
