On Sunday, October 26, 2008, Amtrak (AMTK) 112 was on the point of a rerouted Amtrak train 14 at Bealville, CA. On the rear of the train were two Cal Zephyr private varnish cars. 

I don't know that much about private varnish, but I think the rear car is the 1948 Vista-Dome-Sleeper-Lounge Observation Silver Solarium and the car in front of it is the Vista-Dome Silver Lariat.

AMTK 112 is a GE P42DC. Reportedly: it was built in 1997, serial number 49964.
