The category is "A Special Train Car"

Reminder....The answer is in the form of a question.

$400 - Dating from 1916, the Cannery Row one of these train-ending cars is an attraction in Monterey, California.

$800 - The rail car named Ferdinand Magellan carried FDR 50,000 miles in 2 years; his last journey was to this state in late March 1945.

$1200 - (Daily Double Question) An epically terrible trip from Buffalo to Westfield, N.Y. inspired this man to create the comfy rail cars named for him.

$1600 - (A photo is shown of a Grand Canyon car with windows wrapping across the entire 2nd level) These cars named for the architectural shape up top were the ultimate in mid-century luxury and great views.

$2000 - Sarasota's Circus Museum has the private luxury rail car of John from this fraternal family.

Excellent.  You've run the category.  We'll accept your response on number 4.

Does anyone have a prize for this champion?

(In reality on No. 4 if I recall correctly, and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, the actual contestant, the eventual champion, responded with "canopy car", and was ruled incorrect.  Then one of the two other contestants made an incorrect attempt "clerestory," as John mentioned, and host Mayam followed up by providing the suitable alternative correct response of "dome car".)
