It’s namesake is the 1931 Brill Bullet Trolley car that was found abandoned by Jeff and Kelly Decker. Seeing its potential, they restored it and converted it into a roadside diner that, with the help of friends and family, grew into the full “Trolley Station” that’s in business today.

This trolley—similar to the famed bullet cars of Septa's Philadelphia-Norristown line— began service in New York state on the Fonda Johnstown & Gloversville interurban line.  That route ended electric service in 1932 so the car migrated to the Bamberger line in Salt Lake City, UT in 1939. When Bamberger quit in 1953, the Brill moved around to serval static sites until its current home.
