The Sunset Dinner Train consists of rolling stock of varying ages and origins.  Someone spent a signficiant amount of money to make the train handsome.  Operating on meager budgets, many tourist lines refurbish their cars using a single coat of paint.  The Sunset cars were clean, painted to match and rebuilt to serve as entertainment vehicles.

The taller coach may have been from the Sacramento Northern - it resembles coaches that operated on the former Central Valley railroad.
