Ventura, CA Photo by RoadsidePeek.com
The At the Side Car Diner in Ventura looks like an old
rail train. It actually occupies a 1910 Pullman dining car and first opened for business in the 1940's. Well, at least it used to be a diner. Nowadays, its home to a some
type of store.
UPDATE 06/13 : The At the Side Car Diner is vacant and closed. The paint is now army green and there's a large for lease sign in front. 06-13

Anyway, this is a genuine streamlined diner car from, I think, the Union
Pacific that served as a diner not on 66 but on old US 395 down near March
AFB. It was known as the Liberty Diner and was donated when 395
was widened to make room for modern-day Interstate 215. The diner car was
donated to and is currently on display at the Orange Empire Railway Museum
in Perris. Info courtesy Ralph Squillace
