Super Dome Lounge Menu

This is the menu for the lounge that replaced the Tip Tap Grill in 1952. However, it offered only beverages, not sandwiches or other cafĂ©-type foods. “Your dining car is to the rear of the Super Dome Car,” says a note at the end of the menu, “and we invite you to avail yourself of meal service at the usual times and for sandwich and snack service at all times.”

The menu lists C.C. Dilley as the general manager of passenger services. He held this position in 1965, while during the 1950s he was in Milwaukee’s advertising department and in 1962 he was a freight traffic manager. This suggests this menu is from the mid- to late-1960s, which also means it was used on the Hiawatha, not the Olympian Hiawatha, which had already been cancelled by that time.
