CN Red, White & Blue Menus

Red, white, and blue are the colors of the American flag. But they were also the colors of the Canadian flag, which incorporated the British union jack, before 1965. For those Canadians who felt they owed more allegiance to France than to England, they are also the colors of the French flag.

About the time these menus were issued, CN also adopted a “red, white and blue” fare plan, an early form of what the airlines call yield management today, in order to entice travelers back to the trains. I suspect that is what the colors of these menus are referring to. Unfortunately, the 45-degree angle makes me think more of a barber shop than a restaurant. Continue reading

1963 Jasper Brochure

By the early 1960s, CN appeared to be relying primarily on brochures, not booklets, to advertise Jasper Park. True, we’ve seen this booklet from 1964, but it is not only much smaller than the Jasper booklets from the 1920s through the 1950s, it also earned my nomination for the “worst-designed advertising presented on Streamliner Memories.” CN obviously wasn’t relying on it enough to put a real effort into its design.

The other side is just 15 photos with very little text that successfully creates an impression of incredible beauty without conveying any critical information.

Wrangell Totem Pole 1960 Menu

The color photo on this menu features totem poles in Wrangell, Alaska, a scene that was also covered on one of the color painting menus. The back cover doesn’t advertise Jasper but instead has a photo of Percé Rock on Quebec’s Gaspé peninsula. This rock was visible from CN trains and more recently from VIA trains, but that train was cancelled a few years ago.

The Inside Passage 1960 Menu

Sometime in the late 1950s CN replaced the color illustrations that appeared on the covers of their Alaska steamship menus with color photos instead. These photos were accompanied by some text and graphics, making them similar to some dining car menus of the same period.

Jasper Lounge Dinner Menu

Here’s a Jasper Lodge dinner menu whose cover photo we haven’t seen before. It shows the lounge of the Jasper Park Lodge, “a nice place to relax.” The Northwest Indian art over the fireplace is nice, but the rest of it looks right out of the 1950s. No wonder, it’s dated July 16, 1958.

1956 Jasper Brochure

We’ve seen an 11″x8-1/2″ 36-page booklet about Jasper from 1956. This fold-out brochure has the equivalent of eight pages in the typical railroad 8″x9″ format, though actually they are 7-1/2″x9-1/2″. Other than a few photos, the two don’t have a lot in common.

Canada’s Western Wonderlands

Borrowing a phrase from Union Pacific (which had published western wonderlands’ booklets and brochures at least since 1929), this 26-page booklet (including a foldout in the back) describes the attractions to be found in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and British Columbia. It emphasizes, of course, that people can reach these attractions on CN’s Super Continental and Continental.

Manitoba and Saskatchewan get four pages each; British Columbia five; and Alberta — home to Jasper Lodge — six. Most of the pages are filled with black-and-white photos which, while crisp enough, don’t have the pizazz that color photos could have brought to this booklet. Continue reading

Picturesque St. Francis River

Although the cover photo of the Saint-François River shows Canadian National tracks, most CN passengers would never see this seen as it was on a branch line from Montreal to Sherbrook, Quebec, continuing to Portland, Maine. CN’s 1956 timetable shows three trains a day going the 99 miles to Sherbrook, one of which went another 195 miles to Portland, plus a fourth train that only went 33 miles to St. Hyacinthe. (Rail fans will recognize St. Hyacinthe as the name of a CN heavyweight sleeping car now in the California Railroad Museum.)

These trains, even the overnight ones, had only coaches except the train to Portland, which also had a buffet-parlor car (why didn’t the timetable spell it parlour?). The buffet car only went as far as Island Pond, Vermont, where it was detached and put on the return train back to Montreal. That meant it could serve breakfast and lunch eastbound and lunch and dinner westbound. Continue reading

Maligne Lake 1955 Dinner Menu

This menu has the same photo that was on a 1951 menu shown here a few days ago. It was tucked into yesterday’s 1955 Jasper Park booklet, so must have been collected by the same traveler.

In addition to potatoes and vegetables, the main course included a choice of eight entrées with appetizing names such as “Broiled Fresh Halibut Steak, Cole Slaw Mexicaine” and “Fruit Plate Chantilly, Buttered Brown Bread.” Chantilly (a flavored whipped cream) also came on one of the desserts, a pear pie. Other desserts were mocha cake, frozen puff with chocolate sauce, and peach Melba.

Jasper Park in 1955

I don’t have a 1954 Jasper Park booklet, but this 1955 booklet is the same 6″x9″ format as all of CN’s Jasper booklets at least as far back as 1938. This booklet follows the same general outline as the 1953 edition, but with new photos and text.
