The newest member of our fleet is the "Silver Palace" — a Vista-Dome class car built by the Budd Company in 1948, which originally ran on the Western Pacific Railroad's California Zephyr passenger route from Salt Lake City, Utah to Oakland, California. In 2025, the Virginia Scenic Railway comprehensively upgraded and modernized the car, renaming her "Shenandoah" in homage to the legendary Valley in which she runs.
