added.
This diner is constructed from the only known surviving street cars from the Fresno Traction Company. In 1935 a surplus trolley was hauled to this location, and the following year was remodeled as a cafe. It is unclear whether the second trolley was moved to the lot at the same time or at a later date. Originally known as the Standard Diner, it ws renamed "Trolley Car Carole's" in 1968.
