765 Nickel Plate excursion

I am buying tickets in the California Zephyr dome observation car. Do I want the dome or the lounge ?

In my opinion, request a dome seat, as there probably will be a METRA diesel unit coupled to the rear of the train, for the reverse movements. Thus if the Silver Solarium is the last car on the train, you will be looking out the rear observation windows at a METRA diesel unit. 

Thanks Hot Water, this is the excursion leaving Joliet Illinois.
