Retired streamlined dome observation car. The Chattanooga Choo Choo Hilton Hotel. Chattanooga Tennesee. May 1990.

One of the more unique vacation lodging destinations I have stayed at, was the Chattanooga Choo Choo Hilton Hotel. The old Chattanooga Tennesee Union Station in the old southern city of Chattanooga Tennesee, was eventually redeveloped in to this delightful hotel complex after the train was no longer served by passenger trains.At this hotel, You have the option of sleeping in old retired passenger train cars on the former station platform siding tracks, or in newer more modern brick hotel buildings as seen in the background. This old retired streamlined passenger dome observation car, now serves as a small and cozy coctail lounge at the hotel.

I've stayed at the "Choo Choo", though I think it was a Holiday Inn by the time I stayed there (late '90s-early '00s).
