Southern Pacific built one prototype and six production Dome Lounge cars in its Sacramento General Shops in 1954-55, using salvaged frame components from retired pre-war Pullman-Standard "Daylight" cars and a dome structure supplied in kit form by Budd. The cars debuted on the San Joaquin and Shasta Daylights and the Overland before seeing wider service, and at least four survived into the Amtrak era.
