RI "La Miranda"
Title:  RI "La Miranda"
Description:  That last car is the LA MIRADA, former observation car for the stillborn Golden Rocket. It was the only car on the RI with the tall obs windows. It, along with Golden State observations GOLDEN DIVAN and GOLDEN VISTA were converted to midtrain operation and the round ends squared off. The interiors, however, retained the rounded shape sans windows. The date is approximate here.
