Not a Q matter, but this all reminds me of a diner that decades past was located along the Rio Grande River in Algodones, New Mexico.  It was a converted passenger car and was called "Paula's Pink Pullman"    I doubt that it is still there.  I have a photo of it somewhere.  I don't know if it was actually a Pullman car.

The only name across the top front of the diner I ever saw was “Zephyr Diner”.

By 1986 the “only” maintenance being accomplished down there was for the commuter cars and BN E and F40PH commuter engines. When Amtrak took over long distance passenger operations on May 1, 1971 the San Francisco Zephyr (CZ temporarily named) and the Illinois Zephyr were the only long distance trains maintained here by the BN. Those were soon transferred over to the former PRR now Amtrak maintenance facility just east of the Q/BN facilities.

Thanks Dennis, I remember this well from the film. Do you have any idea what the Diner's original name was? Assuming it was "vacant" prior to being used in the film.

From the movie “About Last Night” (1986)

The diner name was changed to “Swallow” for the movie. The building was torn down soon after the movie filming. 
I derived this from the blog in the link just sent to the group and the discussions therein between Gary Oleszewski and Karl Rethwisch in 2000..
