Aunkst Diner, Route 14, Milton Pa - In An Old Trolley Car
From what little I can find, this was located roughly where Becky's is today, across from the Arrowhead. It's an old trolley car converted into a diner.
An obituary for Jennie Hilner states that she ran the diner with her husband in the 40's. An article in 1953 states that Mrs Florence Aunkst operates Aunksts Diner North of Milton.
==================================
I'm told there was another trolley car diner in West Milton, "Above Kelly's Gas Station".
The Lewisburg, Milton & Watsontown Trolley Company went out of business in 1929.

======================
I found a 5/18/1936 article from Pottsville that said a $9,000 dining car was moving from Pottsville to Milton on Sunday(yesterday for the article) unlikely to have been the trolley diner you mentioned earlier, because those trolleys usually sold for less than $1,000.
