The dinner menu on August 22 had this photo of a steam-powered passenger train emerging from a tunnel in the Kicking Horse River canyon. We’ve previously seen a menu with a photo taken somewhat upstream from this spot, but not this particular photo. It is a little surprising that CP would still use photos showing steam locomotives, as railroads usually featured their most recent technologies.

The menu for lunch on August 23 featured this photo of the Banff golf course that we’ve seen before on a Banff Springs Hotel menu. Among the items on the menu are eggs tartare (which, unlike steak tartare, apparently aren’t uncooked), Melton Mowbry pie (a pork-filled pastry), and mixed grill Mary garden (presumably grilled vegetables).
