Like yesterday’s, this menu is hotel-sized, meaning about 7″x10-1/2″, compared with the dining-car-sized menus, which were 6-3/4″x9-1/2″. The cover photo occupies an unusually small portion of the front cover compared with dining car menus, so I doubt dining car patrons … Continue reading
This 1950 menu showing the Princess Kathleen sailing from Vancouver to Victoria was used in the Empress Hotel. It’s a little larger than CP dining car menus from 1950, so this picture may not have appeared on a dining car … Continue reading

We’ve previously seen a menu with a colorful painting of a passenger train passing in front of Mt. Stephen (named after one of the railway’s founders) and over an entrance to one of the spiral tunnels. The black-and-white photo on … Continue reading
The cover of this breakfast menu features the Chateau Lake Louise and even has a version of the Canadian Pacific logo made for the Chateau. But the menu was used on the Dominion, the railway’s premiere train from 1931 until … Continue reading
The top of this menu cover is a painting of Victoria’s Empress Hotel, which was no doubt the destination of at least a few of the travelers on the Imperial, the train on which this dinner menu was used. Of … Continue reading
