This is the third menu in Union Pacific’s wraparound photo series that featured Nob Hill in the photo. The first one is populated with 1940s automobiles and, while my copy is dated 1957, I’ve seen the photo on a 1949 menu. The second one shows cars from the mid-1950s but my copy was a 1963 menu.
The newest cars on the cover of this menu appear to be from 1959. However, the tall building in the background to the left of the cable car is 650 California Street, which was not completed until 1964 and for a time was the tallest building in California (the state, not the street). So it is not surprising that this menu is dated 1965. Except for the automobiles, the scene hasn’t changed too much to this day.
I first saw this menu cover in the on-line collection of the California Railroad Museum and posted it with other menus missing from my collection. The fact that it took me so long to find one suggests that it is especially rare, which is strange since neither of its predecessors are hard to find.

It is slightly misleading to post this as a Union Pacific menu as it was used on a Southern Pacific “special train to Fresno” for the International Confederation of Cotton and Allied Textiles Industries in October 1965. Most of the UP-designed menus with San Francisco photos on their covers were used on the UP-SP-C&NW trains City of San Francisco and San Francisco Overland, but were sometimes used by Southern Pacific on other trains and special movements.
With this menu, I now have 129 Union Pacific wraparound color photo menus (plus 15 of the non-wraparound variations), which as near as I can tell is all of them. There may still be some UP menus I haven’t yet seen, but since I’ve been searching diligently ever since this post seven years ago and I’ve only found one new one in the past two years, I am beginning to doubt it. If there are any others, they are probably in the college series.
Today is also Streamliner Memories’ anniversary. I’ve posted everyday for nine years, which means 3,287 posts as of today. I’ve learned a lot, but now it’s time to take a break. I expect to start posting again, though perhaps not every day, on October 1. In the meantime, I hope you find the information on this site to be useful.
Thank you so much for all your work and enjoy a well deserved break. Never thought I would thank older age, but I was fortunate enough to ride the CZ, El Cap, San Joaquin Daylight and many more. Travel went downhill after they all died.
Indeed, many thanks. Love this site.
Interesting that even at this late date SP had not done what one might expect a supposedly anti-passenger railroad to do: quit running special trains. But right up to the end, SP continued to run the Wildflower Specials, the Reno Fun Train, and other special excursions.
