Mount Rainier Dinner Menu

Most of Great Northern’s color-photo menus feature pictures of Glacier National Park. Yesterday’s Grand Coulee menu and today’s Mount Rainier menu are the only exceptions I have found so far. Someone at Great Northern must have liked fishing, because — like several Glacier Park menus — this one features an angler in the photo.

The table d’hôte menu offered entrées for $2.25 — fish, lamb chops, fried chicken, or prime rib — or $1.35 — fish, beef stew, omelet, or cold meats. All came with potatoes, vegetables, bread, dessert, and beverage, and the $2.25 entrées also came with a couple of appetizers. The a la carte side listed chicken pot pie for 85¢, half a fried chicken for $1.05, “all roast meats” for $1.20, and several other items. Multiply prices by 10 to get today’s dollars. “Hot breads and pies baked on this car daily.”
