This 1936 menu exhorts passengers to “Go West” via the Baltimore & Ohio. I’m not sure what waterfall is pictured on the cover, but it may be in Glacier National Park. The back cover pictures scenes from Glacier, Yellowstone, and Yosemite parks.

For some reason, eastern menus were often more crassly commercial than menus of western railroads, containing small ads here and there and overtly enticing people to ride the railroads’ trains instead of just picturing scenes along and near the route.

For some reason, going from a la carte to a complete meal cost a different amount for each entrée, ranging from 25 cents for the sirloin steak but 45 cents for the prime rib. The most expensive item on the menu was still the sirloin steak dinner at $1.75 (about $24 today).

I don’t know for what the menu drawing was done but I assume it was summer, since that’s the tourist season in Glacier. The major difference in the two views is the dramatic decrease in perennial snow on appistoki Peak.
