Like yesterday’s menus, this one is technically a Southern Pacific menu that uses a Union Pacific design and photograph. In fact, the cover photo also appeared on Union Pacific’s October, 1955 calendar. This is one of the menus in which the photo does not wrap around to the back.

Union Pacific displayed the southern California coast on several menus, but this is just one of two menus showing the central California coast and none showing the northern California or Oregon coast. Next month, I’ll present Union Pacific’s 1950s and 1960s calendars, many of which feature photos of the Oregon and northern California coast. This makes me wonder if some of those photos found their way onto a Union Pacific menu.
