The Englewood Diner, shown
here ready to start on a journey from Holden, Massachusetts to Chicago,
was built in 1941 and originally stood on a corner in Dorchester, near the
Ashmont "T" station. It changed hands and locations a number of times
before DreamWorks producers purchased it on Ebay for a reported
$35,000. DreamWorks contacted a Boston rigger about moving the diner from its last home in Holden to Chicago, but the Boston company turned to the overdimensional shipment specialists at Rushco. Rushco moved the vintage eatery West, where it appeared in the Tom Hanks film "Road to Perdition." |
