A small diner, built from a railroad car, at night, on an empty city street. A sign reads "Philly Express / Steak & Bagel Train / Since 1907"

Captured with a small mirrorless camera and 21mm lens late on a winter night.

The "Steak and Bagel Train" has served intermittently as a neighborhood breakfast and lunch joint. It had been abandoned and neglected for a number of years, but was renovated and re-opened in 2010. Sadly, it closed again a couple years later. I believe "Since 1907" was entirely fanciful.

The structure was originally a Reading Railroad dining car. It sits on an abandoned siding near Broad Street in Philadelphia.
