A classic railcar-style diner that closed recently after losing its Manhattan home is being reborn in Brooklyn.
The Cheyenne Diner is relocating to the Red Hook neighborhood on the waterfront after a construction manager purchased it for $5,000.
The chrome-covered eatery near Penn Station closed earlier this month after 19 years in business to make way for a nine-story residential and commercial building.
Landlord George Papas says the buyer of the diner has enlisted a professional who restores diners for a living to move and refurbish it.
No opening date has been set.
