How to retrieve a file that has been added then removed in a Docker image?

Assume you have a working directory like this:



$ tree .
.
├── Dockerfile
└── file.txt


And the Dockerfile contains:



FROM debian:9

WORKDIR /usr/src/foo

COPY file.txt .

RUN echo Some random command involving file.txt
&& rm -f file.txt


And you build and push the corresponding image to a given Docker registry:



$ docker build -t foo/bar .
$ docker login #…
$ docker push foo/bar


Is there a way (or several ways) to retrieve from the image, the contents of file.txt that was added then removed in an intermediate layer? Does the answer depend on the choice of the WORKDIR?
