This is a fascinating photograph of a trolley with porthole windows.

If you look closely Los Angeles is painted on the side.

Los Angeles and San Diego(?) RY.
At first I was confused Ramona's Home was one of the train stops but then I remembered that
two different locations claim to be the home of Ramona.
One is Rancho Camulos (in Ventura County) and the other is Rancho Guajome (in San Diego County). This trolley is obviously going to the Rancho Guajome location.
hmmm. . .there was also a rail-line to the Ventura County location.
RE: Rancho Camulos
"The 1887 completion of the Southern Pacific line increased the number of visitors, as the railroad featured the Camulos Ranch in its advertisements
in order to distinguish the line from its competitors. Tourists continued to arrive even after the SP relocated its main line in 1903
through the Santa Susana Pass, by passing Camulos. Two daily trains made stops at Camulos until the service was discontinued in the 1940s."
Since Ramona is a fictional character I doubt either one is her home.
