So, Jim, this is a puzzle! The "transportation"-related restaurant that I'm aware of in Fredonia, PA is a former Kuhlman 700-Series trolley now "serving" (ha!) as the Coach Dinor [sic]. Because I promised to update my trolley-railcar-diner post this weekend, I've explored this trolley-diner and your question in more detail there. It's got a link to a better quality copyrighted photo, too. Thanks for giving me a good and easy topic to work on this weekend! Meanwhile, here's a Google-snap of the Coach Dinor:
SO -- if the Coach Dinor is a Kuhlman trolley that still begs the question of what is your book talking about when it shows a photo of a "dining car" turned restaurant? Feel free to reply at the other link if it's a railcar rather than a trolley.
