Our first menu today has a familiar photo of Mt. Eisenhower on the cover. We’ve seen this photo on a cover that was otherwise white, blue and yellow, and there are even more variations out there. It’s possible that Canadian Pacific used this particular photo on a greater variety of menus than any other.

It’s possible CP used the photo to appeal to the pride of residents of its neighbor to the south. That may be especially true in this case, as this menu was used on the Mountaineer, a train that went between St. Paul, Minnesota and Vancouver.

The second menu today also has a grey cover that is a duplicate of one presented here a few days ago. That menu was also used on the Soo-Dominian train from St. Paul to Vancouver. (The Mountaineer and Soo-Dominion were really the same train, but the name was changed and a few cars were added during the summer.) While this menu doesn’t say so, it may have been used on a Soo Line train as well, as it was used for a California tour group visiting the Canadian Rockies, and they may have gone via Minnesota in one direction or the other.
