DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NO FINANCIAL INTEREST IN THIS OFFER, AND THE INFORMATION HAS NOT BEEN VERIFIED FIRST-HAND YET. CAVEAT EMPTOR.
The following was posted to Facebook Marketplace "over a week ago":

"FREE. Converted office, plumbing and heating! Must go. A.S.A.P "
The offer is being made by a Joshua Jones, phone number 740-415-0627. He apparently has a day job and will not be answering the phone, texts, etc. until convenient.
The FB Marketplace ad lists out of Lancaster, Ohio; I have no idea where said car actually is. I suspect one of our loyal readers and passenger car experts will recognize it and chime in.
UPDATE: More from "diningcartim":

This is former Erie Lackawanna 747. It was sold off the deadline at Port Jervis, NY circa 1973 to an individual who operated it on the New Hope & Ivyland until about 1980. Sold to a railroad contracting firm in Columbus, Ohio who moved it there (along with an ex-New York Central baggage car with end doors that was in theater prop service at one point) to a siding where they were used as offices. The interior of the diner was in pretty good shape, body/structural condition was "poor".

The car is land locked, no access to rail, plus it has at least one broken leaf spring. It may be free but spring by truck will cost $10K or more to move.
