Atlantic Coast Line Champion Menus

Ira Silverman is a railfan who actually rode the trains whose menus he collected. He later donated 238 of those menus to the Northwestern University library. I’m posting a few here to fill out the Atlantic Coast Line series of photo menus from the 1960s.

The first one shows what is presumably Miami Beach — the menus lack any caption. This is a 1963 dinner menu used on the West Coast Champion (which went to Tampa). In addition to an extensive a la carte section, it offered a shrimp platter with hush puppies, French fries, cole slaw, rolls, and a beverage for $2.55 ($21.50 today); a club steak platter with French fries, bread, salad, and beverage for $3.45 ($29 today); and five table d’hôte dinners ranging from broiled fish for $2.75 ($23.00 today) to sirloin steak for $5.25 ($44.00 today), any of which came with soup, salad, vegetables, bread, dessert, and beverage.

Second we have a 1963 lunch menu used on the East Coast Champion (which went to Miami over the Florida East Coast Railway) with a cover photo showing someone about to take a trip in a speed boat.

These suggestions all came with with a beverage and some of them came with side dishes such as a cup of soup or dessert.
