Relevant to the original topic, there is also a car that once served as a diner, Pittsburgh, Harmony, Butler & New Castle 115, in the museum collection.

Close to my home, Harpers Ferry, WV, there have been a number of food establishments run out of an old baggage car. It is just past the passenger station.

Greg, great info!  Here's a link to the Trolley Museum's page describing the St. Louis Car Company interurban combine:

Former Diner Pittsburgh-harmony-butler-new-castle-railway 115

It's a very handsome car. And, here's a picture of the baggage car restaurant as in looked in 2012 according to Google maps:

Interurban, combines, and baggage cars are all great in my book.  Thanks for these terrific additions.
