We’ve seen this photograph before on a 1951 dining car menu that was a very different format, which a horizontal fold so that the image could fill more of the cover. This menu, like those of the preceding days, was used at the Chateau Lake Louise and the photo caption on the cover invites guests to travel eight miles from the Chateau by road to see Moraine Lake and the Valley of the Ten Peaks.

The table d’hôte menu offers halibut, ham and eggs, scallops, pork, or turkey, with the usual accompaniments, for $4 (US$29 today), or a sirloin steak for $5.50 (plus a 20 minute wait — why would it take 20 minutes to broil a steak?), which is about US$40 today. The a la carte side has many other entrées, including salmon, lobster, chicken, lamb chops, and veal cutlets.
