Subject: Diner/Lunch Wagon Query
Date: Fri, 10 May 2002 18:35:08 -0400


Hello,

I am doing research on diners/lunch wagons. My research has brought me to
Silver Creek, NY(Ward & Dickinson dining car co) which in turn has brought
me to focus on Ohio. They sent many of their diners to Ohio. Some Diner
builders in Ohio: Galion dining car co. of Galion, OH and the (Earl
Richardson)Rich dining car co. of Dayton, OH, both of these Ohio companies
were probably short lived ventures in the 1920's.
What I am looking for is any information on past diners in Ohio or these
companies(Maybe your relatives worked at/owned these diners or companies)
and also, leads on any diners that existed(past or present) in Ohio, as I am
only aware of about 10-15 diners in the state. For example, a friend of
mine JUST recently heard about a diner in Wellington, OH that has been there
since probably 1925. Not only do they have a good breakfast(had to drive
out there from eastern NY to check it out!) but it's a type of diner we've
never seen before.
Since I'm doing my research from a mostly historical standpoint, if you
remember a diner "a long time ago" in a certain location, please let me
know.

Best Regards,
Mike Engle
