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.

The 1955 menu has one more course than the 1951 menus, though it is only celery, radishes, and mixed olives. This was followed by fruit or juice; soup; the main course; salad; dessert; a cheese board; and beverage. 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.

The 1938-1941 booklets showed photos of people being chauffeured around the park in Buicks that looked like they might have been able to carry four passengers plus the driver. The 1953 booklet shows the Buicks had been replaced by 1951 Dodge Coronet eight-passenger sedans with windows added into the roofs (go to the Buick link and scroll down). Continue reading

Jasper Park Dinner Menu

We’ve seen this menu before, at which time I dated it to 1956. I now think they were from 1954. The clue is the ad on the back bragging about CN’s order for “359 new passenger cars.” This dates it to 1954, when when CN placed what it called a “record purchase of new passenger equipment.”

The Royal Sceptre

Like many of the other symbols of the queen’s authority, the royal sceptre was made in 1661 for the coronation of Charles II. However, the massive, 530-carat diamond at the top of the sceptre was added later. It was cut from the cullinan diamond, which was one of the largest diamonds ever discovered at more than 3,100 carats. Purchased as a gift for the King Edward VII by the Transvaal Colony for 150,000 pounds (about $2 million in today’s money), most of the diamond was cut into pieces that became part of the crown jewels or were owned personally by the royal family.

The back of the menu shows the orb, the coronation ring, and St. George’s spurs. The ring dates to 1831 but the orb and spurs were also made in 1661. Continue reading

St. Edward’s Crown

Canadian National’s 1937 coronation menus each showed one of the symbols of the king’s authority, and CN repeated that in 1953. It managed to do so with only three menus by putting symbols on both the fronts and backs of the menus. In this case, the front cover shows the crown of St. Edward which, despite the name, was never worn by King Edward as he died in 1066 and the crown was made in 1661 for King Charles II.

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

The same Streamliner Memories reader who contributed scans of Canadian National’s six 1937 coronation menus also contributed scans of menus for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Elsewhere on this website I wrote that there were also six of these menus, but it turns out I was counting both the front and back covers of the menus. As near as I can tell, there were just three.

Cod Fish Flake Breakfast Menu

When I first saw the photo on the cover of this menu, I wondered, “Why is that man trying to ski on the snow-covered roof of that rickety looking barn?” It turned out it wasn’t snow, but cod; it wasn’t a barn, but a fish flake for drying the cod; and he wasn’t trying to ski but laying out the cod for drying. At least I got the rickety part right, though I wonder how he got off the flake when he had surrounded himself with fish.

This menu came with the Mount Athabaska menu from a couple of days ago and was included with the 1953 letter providing “menu cards” to an Ohio railfan. Although the cover letter is dated February 1953, the menus themselves are probably from 1952; this one has a printer code of “17-11-52” on it. It also is a little more spartan than the Athabaska menu, which includes fresh fish as an entrée, while this one — ironically — does not.

Mount Athabaska Breakfast Menu

Here’s a beautiful photo of Mount Athabaska, near the Columbia Icefield, on a Canadian National menu. The car in the foreground looks like it was made in around 1940, but the menu is from 1953. It says it was for breakfast in the buffet car, but the menu is as substantial as one from a full diner.

It was nice of that Ohioan to save the letter with the menu. Continue reading
