Unfortunately, they took the Vista Domes off the runs years ago. The lounge car has panoramic windows but it's not quite the same. The run over Donner Pass and thru Salt Lake City and over to Denver by way of the Colorado River is spectacular! It's called the California Zephyr. The run through Glacier Park and Montana on the Empire Builder is unbeatable. The best part of the run is along the Kootenai River west of Glacier, but that part of the trip is in darkness. I only got to see it because I rode on the flatcar of a freight train.
