Although B&O obtained other domes when the C&O "Chessie" was stillborn, the "original" pair of domes were the first PS cars sold to a railroad, and B&O placed them in it's Baltimore-Chicago "Columbian" service, May 5, 1949. The "Chessie" domes were built by Budd and acquired from C&O in 1950 (cars originally delivered to C&O in 1948). |

In 1952, B&O added four floodlights just forward of the domes (on all their domes, not just the 2 original cars) to give customers "night" scenery. The lights were turned off when passing thru towns. |
