Description
RED TOP DINER ON ROUTE 66 by PRISCILLA BURGERS
The Red Top Diner on Route 66 in Edgewood, New Mexico displays an "Out to Lunch" sign on the front door. This Valentine Diner has actually been closed for many years. Webster's Dictionary defines a diner as "a restaurant in the shape of a railroad car." In the case of Valentine Diners , as well as many others, this was true as the manufacturing design reflected the style of railroad dining cars. Valentine Diners were manufactured by the Arthur Valentine company and were once part of a chain of identically constructed, individually serialized diners that stretched across the United States and operated using the Valentine Lunch System. These eight-to-ten-seat diners could be operated by just one or two people. This old diner once stood in Magdelena, New Mexico before it was purchased by Jerry Ueckert and moved to Edgewood. The diner had extensive damage and Jerry is currently in the process of restoring it.
