City of Portland Cafe Breakfast Menu

The City of Portland was not yet on a daily schedule when this menu was issued in November, 1946. In fact, it operated just five times a month each way between Chicago and Portland.

This menu would have been used in the coffee shop diner shown on page 16 of this 1941 booklet. This train was the original City of Los Angeles, but it was transferred to City of Portland service when a longer train replaced it on the Los Angeles route.

How embarrassing! You may have noticed that my original entry for today was the same menu featured in the post two days ago. I’ve replaced it by moving everything up a day.
