Milwaukee Road menu covers of the 1930s seemed to feature scenes of obscure places that few passengers would see in real life. Instead of showing the Pacific Ocean, yesterday’s menu showed a couple of fishing boats. Instead of showing Mount Rainier, today’s menu shows some flowers and a deer that, the menu cover assures us, were photographed in Mount Rainier National Park.

Although I have lots of menus from AT&SF, D&RGW, GN, NP, SP, and UP, I have very few from the Milwaukee Road. So I am grateful to Streamliner Memories reader Brian Leiteritz for providing this and other Milwaukee Road menus that I’ll be presenting in the next week. Like yesterday’s menu, this one is from around 1938 or 1939.
