The count for existing rail cars and trolleys turned into diners has reached a new high. As of today, I have located roughly 57 converted rail cars and 23 converted trolleys for a total around 80! This fact should afford lots of regional and wider-ranging road trip opportunities across the U.S. Many restaurants are along side rail lines, too. This figure does not include the Old Spaghetti Factory and Spaghetti Warehouse chains, restaurants with multiple cars, nor the many examples outside the U.S.
This revised number shows that the car-to-eatery phenomenon continues to the present day and wasn't limited to economic factors of the 20's, 30's, and 40's.

P.S. -- Please note that I am not normally a compulsive list-creator but I hope to finish this project by September 30 when I must resume writing my dissertation (i.e., "real" history :-).
