Started as Tilamook Railcar Repair and renamed Raders Railcar before moving to Colorado, this company was actively keeping the tradition of dome cars alive with a variety of cars having been built. Aside from building Ultradome cars for Alaska land cruiselines Holland America, Princes Tours and Royal Celebrity Cruiseline they have also built glass top cars for the Alaska Railroad (single-level and gallery), British Columbia Railway (single-level, to VIA Rail Canada), Florida Fun Train (single-level and gallery, to Alaska RR.), Rocky Mountain Railtours and the ill-fated Marlboro Unlimited (four cars survived despite report by Trains magazine that they were to be scrapped, see notes below). This company also was actively involved in developing "New Age" motor cars, four cars currently in use on Florida Tri-rail (gallery) and the rebuilding of a variety of passenger cars for various customers. To learn more about this builder, visit Jody Moore's Ultradomes website.
