Looking at my 1950 Chicago Terminal District map, this would have been near the Chicago Stock Yards. Somewhat south of the 14th Street Coach Yards. Looking at Google Maps, both sides of Halted at this location are currently vacant lots. Based on location, this might have been popular with visitors or workers at the Stock Yards. The postcard shows the diner tucked up against a larger building. I would imagine both facilities have been gone for a good while.

Group - Does anyone remember or enjoyed a meal in the Burlington
Diner at 4183 South Halsted in Chicago? I'm inserting and attaching a post card
image of the diner:
The backside of the post card reads:
A Unique Place To Eat- The BURLINGTON DINER- An
Original Burlington R.R. Diner- 4183 So. Halsted St.--Chicago, Ill.- * Famous
For Good Food *- Serving Day and Night Since 1939- For Ladies and Gentlemen-
Phone: Virginia 7-9078
Was this an actual retired Q dining car?
The post card image indicates the back end was open platform. Does this diner
still exist? Is the location any where near the 14th Street Coach
Yards?
Hopefully, some of our Chicago Land members
can give us the history of this diner and the car it was in. Best Regards -
Louis
