Like yesterday’s menu, this one was used on the Capitol Limited. However, it is larger (about 8″x11″ vs. 7″x10″) and has a few more items on it, including two plate meals. B&O never seemed to date its menus, so I at first assumed that this one was earlier.

Yet at least a few prices are higher. Notably, the sirloin steak dinner is $5.75 on today’s menu but only $4.75 on yesterday’s, a 21 percent leap. Many of the other prices are the same, but based on the steak dinner alone I would date this to the early- to mid-1960s.

Today, the use of the United Nations building on the cover might be controversial, but in the 1950s and 1960s that entity was widely viewed as the best hope for world peace. Usually I present Christmas-themed menus in late December, but I didn’t have any in 2021 so this is a late holiday entry.
