"Spaghetti Warehouse is an Italian restaurant geared towards families with 13 locations in 6 U.S. states. Each restaurant has a trolley car in the dining room and patrons are able to sit in the car."  =snip=

Enough with the trolleys already!  I was just researching this spaghetti chain out of curiosity and instead stumbled on the Old Spaghetti Factory founded in 1969 in Portland, OR.  Each of their thirty restaurants is decorated with local items and features ... wait for it ... a trolley car that can be used as a dining room.  It's like McDonalds and Burger King -- if they each had a trolley car and served spaghetti that is ... At least the Little Rock Spaghetti Warehouse had a 1924 Pullman car from the Cotton Belt Railroad; but it closed.

And that Clinton Station Central New Jersey Blue Comet observation car is a great addition, gaining extra points for its coolness factor and tipping the scales nicely on the RR-side.
