Between 1938 diner moved to new home at lincoln highway museum and vintage diner ready for debut at irwin theater, it looks like Rt 30 is becoming a restored diner lovers destination.
Greg, thanks for keeping us posted! It's great to see these items preserved. I don't have time at present to research the prior history or builders of the diners, but maybe later? Can you tell us whose RR tracks are on the left in the (south) Pittsburgh photo in the first newspaper link that you provided? I'm pretty sure that the Union Railroad has tracks to the east of the location shown.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming ... diners, rail cars, and trolleys! :-} (And my school work! )
Tomlinson Run Railroad

What, you mean the tracks that run right by this building?

Currently there is a 50/50 chance it belongs to NS or CSX, since it was part of CONRAIL.

I believe that CSX has the intermodal terminal on that line below the point.
