Luckily the train was relatively early and it was still daylight at the time of the crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole event went very smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was very exciting to see the &#8216;new&#8217; car.  This Budd Vista Dome was built in the 1950s for Northern Pacific&#8217;s <em>North Coast Limited<\/em> and has a long history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
