dome car
Glass-roofed coach
A dome car is a railroad passenger car with a raised glass-enclosed section on top, giving riders a panoramic view of passing scenery.
Dome cars became popular on American trains in the mid-20th century, especially for scenic routes through mountains and canyons: We booked seats in the dome car for the trip through the Rockies.
