Rear view of the CIWL Voiture-restaurant presidentielle No. 3354. The boxes to the left and right of the diaphragm are typical for CIWL cars. I don't know why this car has Japanese (!) inscriptions. Tobel-Affeltrangen, 3rd February 1995.
[additional information by Mamoru: This car traveled to Japan in 1988 for special event. The train left Paris and went through Moscow, Beijing, Hong Kong and the final destination was Tokyo. During staying in Japan, those cars were registered as cars belonged to JR East(former japanese national railway). Japanese on 3354 is the proof that it traveled to Japan. At that time, I was living in japan and really excited to see the European train running in front of me in Japan.]
