Nostalgia & History > UP heavyweight diner at Cheyenne -- Nov 74Date: 10/16/17 10:18 UP heavyweight diner at Cheyenne -- Nov 74 Author: gcm It looked like 906200 was still being used as a diner for work crews.
It was built in 1927, modernized in 1951, retired from regular service in 1968.

I got to partake 4 or 5 times in the Green River wreck diner out in the middle of nowhere east of Carter, WY. === === = === JLH

It is actually a café lounge that was converted from a diner. It has been beautifully repainted and I believe plans were to restore the interior, if not already done.
