BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — A 1940s diner, having run its course as a fixture in New York City’s Chelsea district, has been transported to Birmingham.

The Birmingham News reports that the 96-foot railroad car-style diner arrived Thursday after being on the road for two weeks. The diner, which has a black, white and silver metal exterior, was divided into two pieces for the move.

Birmingham businessman Joel Owens bought the diner and plans to restore its 1940s look. It was originally called the Market Diner, and in the 1980s became the Cheyenne Diner.

Spokeswoman Patti Miller says glass bricks, which bordered the front door, and the glass front door were among the parts removed for the move.

The diner is sitting on a lot while Owens tries to find it a permanent home.
