This menu advertises CP’s great ship in its heyday, when it was carrying a couple of trainloads of passengers between Liverpool and St. Johns, New Brunswick per five-day trip. The painting doesn’t has a signature because the bottom portion was cropped off for the menu, but a poster reveals it was painted by Norman Wilkinson, whose works grace the covers of at least two other CP menus.

The cover painting of this menu is signed “L. Richmond,” which refers to Leonard Richmond (1889-1965), a British artist who painted trains and ocean liners for Canadian Pacific, though he preferred to do landscapes like this one when he was painting on his own. He also wrote a series of art instruction books on oils, water colors, pastels, landscapes, and more.

The table d’hôte side of the menu offered seven different entrées, including duckling, curried eggs, and chicken pate. A complete meal with any of these entrées was $2 (about US$27.50 today). All of the entrées also appeared on the a la carte side along with several kinds of fish, “minute steak saute, Lake Louise,” and cold meats.

This unusual dining car menu is undated, but from the inside decorations it is from sometime before 1938. I have a 1931 menu that offers a “Red brand” sirloin steak for $1.50 and a 1937 menu that lists it for $1.25. I have no menus dated 1932 through 1936, so I don’t know when the price fell. This menu has it for $1.50, so it was from before 1937. The menu is in both English and French, which means it was used on a train in the eastern part of Canada.

I can’t read the signature in the lower left corner of the cover illustration; it looks like Rob something, but the only Robert I can find in CP’s stable of artists is Robert Schroder, and the rest of the name doesn’t look like Schroder. In any case, the combination of the illustration, the map at the bottom, and the art deco colored bars at the upper left is, as far as I know, unique among CP menus. However, since I haven’t found any Canadian Pacific dining car menus dated between 1932 and 1936, it’s possible there was a whole series of menus like this one.

Chateau Frontenac Dinner Menu

Yesterday we viewed several menus from the Chung collection that featured charcoal (or possibly pencil) drawings on the cover. A couple of them had several vertical bars in the lower righthand corner, but the one showing the Chateau Frontenac did not. Here’s a menu from my collection showing the same image of the Chateau but with the vertical bars in the lower right corner.

So what do the vertical bars mean? This particular menu was used on an Alaska service steamship. Other vertical-bar menus were used on CP oceanliners and in CP hotels. Though I haven’t seen any used on a dining car, it’s not out of the question. This particular menu is undated, but all of the vertical-bar menus I’ve seen that have dates are from 1936 or later. However, I’ve seen charcoal-drawing menus without vertical bars that are also dated after 1936. This will remain a mystery until we find more examples of this menu series.

Charcoal Drawing Menus

Perhaps as an economy measure, starting in around 1930 Canadian Pacific issued a series of menus that featured what appears to be pencil or charcoal drawings on the cover. We’ve already seen a dining car menu that featured the Empress of Britain on the cover of a menu in landscape format. (The image itself is square but the menu is wider than it is tall.) Today’s menus are from the Chung collection.

Canadian Industry Menu Series

In 1930, Canadian Pacific put out a series of menus celebrating major industries in Canada, especially ones closely involved with the railway. Although each of the menus had cover paintings by Charles James Greenwood that wrapped around to the back covers, the curators of the Chung collection scanned the covers separately. As an option, I’ve made full covers as a separate PDF that you can download.

The first menu is dedicated to the producers of wheat and other grains in the Prairie Provinces. As the back cover says, nearly a billion bushels of grain were harvested in 1928, and most of it was probably carried on CP trains. Greenwood’s signature is on the front cover. Continue reading →

As noted here a couple of days ago, in 1929 Canadian Pacific acquired twenty 2-10-4 locomotives, which it called Selkirks, from Montreal Locomotive Works, the Canadian subsidiary of the American Locomotive Company (ALCO). At 78,000 pounds of tractive effort, these were at the time the most powerful locomotives in Canada.

In 1931, Canadian Pacific followed the Selkirks by building its own 2-10-4 locomotive, numbered 8000. But this used an experimental design known as the Schmidt high-pressure system. Continue reading →

The ship pictured on this dining car menu cover would not go into service until almost a year after this menu was used for a “Through the Wonderland of the West” tour. This would be the second Canadian Pacific ship to be called Empress of Britain; the first one, which had been built in 1905, was renamed Montroyal in 1924 and taken out of service in 1929.

No. 5900 Selkirk Locomotive Menu

This menu features the first of 36 2-10-4 locomotives built for the Canadian Pacific. The Santa Fe Railway, which pioneered this wheel arrangement, called them Texas locomotives, but Canadian Pacific called them Selkirks.

While the Santa Fe and other U.S. railroads used 2-10-4s mainly for freight, Canadian Pacific used them to haul both freight and passenger trains across the Rocky Mountains. The cover drawing shows the locomotive emerging from the west portal of the Connaught Tunnel, which was bored through the locomotive’s namesake Selkirk Mountains. This scene wouldn’t be likely today as CP opened a second tunnel for westbound traffic in 1989. Continue reading →
