About the Tierney diner car
- Manufacturer: The P.J. Tierney Sons company was a prominent pre-war diner car manufacturer, with the company becoming an incorporated entity in 1917 under the sons of P.J. Tierney. The company produced prefabricated diner units that resembled railroad dining cars and included innovations like electric lighting and interior toilets.
- History: The diner car that now houses the Red Rose was originally the Lacawana Diner, which opened in 1927 in Stroudsburg, PA. It was later moved to Towanda and was restored over a five-year period before reopening in 2003. After closing briefly, it reopened under new ownership as The New Red Rose Diner in late 2023.
- Significance: The New Red Rose Diner is noted as being one of the most original and complete Tierney diner cars still in existence.
