Canadian Pacific may have used menus featuring cover images of the Empress of France only on that ship and the Empress of Scotland only on that ship. But otherwise menus found on one would likely be found on the other. That is illustrated by the menus presented today, at least two whose covers were also used on the Empress of France.

First is a menu featuring the Hotel Frontenac in Quebec City, where some of the passengers would disembark and perhaps stay at that hotel. This may be why images of that hotel were used on so many Empress menus. This dinner menu was used on May 28, the third evening out.

Today’s second menu shows the familiar scene in Yoho National Park. I once bicycled from Portland to that park specifically to see Tawkakkaw Falls, which is featured on another Canadian Pacific menu. While there I took the Canadian to Lake Louise and back, getting a ride in the cab from a friendly engineer one way.

Finally we have a lunch menu that wasn’t included in the menus from the trip aboard the Empress of France. We have seen this menu before, however, from a 1954 trip aboard the Empress of Scotland. The menu was also used in the Banff Springs Hotel restaurant as we have seen one from 1952. However, I have not seen one used on a dining car.
