Built in 1955 by Budd in Lot #9679-155 as GN full dome lounge #1391 OCEAN VIEW, 1 of 6 VIEW-series full domes built in that Lot for the EMPIRE BUILDER; GN owned 5 (#1390-#1394) and CB&Q owned 1 (#1395). All 6 were sold to Amtrak in 1971 as #9360-#9365, OCEAN VIEW as #9361. In 1985, Amtrak converted 3 of the cars to HEP as #9300-#9302; OCEAN VIEW was converted to #9300 in March 1985. Usually assigned to the AUTO TRAIN through 1996, the OCEAN VIEW was renumbered to #10031 in April 1999, and is the last dome car on Amtrak's roster. The #10031 sees use seasonally across the country, including assignments on the PACIFIC SURFLINER (Amfleet set), ADIRONDACK during Fall Colors, RENO FUN TRAIN, and LEAVENWORTH SNOW TRAIN. For more info on the VIEW-series full domes, see Phil Dohmen's website.
