Reply to "Random Photos of Trolley Cars"

Thanks for your ongoing research and photos, Bobby.  My iPad is taking days to load this and the prior posts' photos, so this text-only reply will have to do.

The last two photos in your post of a trolley-to-restaurant conversion are actually one and the same.  That great Standard Diner photo is new to me but I recognized the photo just above it as a former trolley restaurant described by our friends at Hicks Car Works.  

They reported that the building consists of a 1912 Brill built as a Fresno Traction Dragon car and a 1925 Birney, apparently placed in an L-shaped configuration.  They dated the Standard Diner remodel to 1936.

The trolley restaurant was later turned into an office and at one point the interior was damaged by fire.  Google maps still shows it at 1732 S. Cherry Avenue in Fesno, CA.
