The SUPER CHIEF Pleasure Domes were initially planned to receive PLAZA-series names, but these were not applied; the #501 was planned to be named PLAZA LAGUNA. #501 and the other SUPER CHIEF Pleasure Domes were refurbished in 1957. Sold to Amtrak in 1971 as #9351, stored in 1979, sold in March 1984 to the Espirit De Corp Sportswear Company, resold in December 1984 to the Golden Gate Railroad Museum, later resold to Roy Thorpe, then resold again to John Baldwin, then resold again to the Washington Central/SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON Dinner Train as WCRC #104 CITY OF SEATTLE, received Columbia Basin Railway (CBRW) reporting marks in November 2002. After the move of the SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON from Renton to Tacoma, the train was then stored in Vancouver, WA, and was resold in 2012 to Iowa Pacific/San Luis & Rio Grande as SLRG #501. The former SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON cars were assigned to the Santa Cruz & Monterey Bay Railway in Santa Cruz, CA. Scanned with an Epson V550 from an original Kodachrome 35mm slide. Date is approximate.
