Thanks to our readers, the goodies keep rolling inn, so to speak. Our old friend Olin sends us this picture of the Trolley Inn in Jeffersonville, Ind.
The photo is dated 1989, and the diner was located at Riverside Dr. and Spring St. I wish I had known about it! From aerial photographs, it's no longer there, and has been replaced by a modern restaurant building.
Frank thinks it must be a curved-side car from Home Transit, which ran through Jeffersonville. Compare this picture from Dave Mewhinney:
In any case, thanks for submitting this, Olin!

To be clear, I did not submit the photo itself, but a link -

Something to add to your trolley diner list - slightly different and much more modern -- how about a CTA 2200 that's on display at the Chicago Auto Show as a mobile beer garden -- found on Chicago L facebook group -

Wow. Now THAT is worthy of preservation at IRM. Adaptive reuse at its finest.
