Empress Hotel Garden Menus

Located in the rainy Northwest, Victoria is home to many gardens, some of which surround Canadian Pacific’s Empress Hotel. These two 1948 dining car menus present a view of these gardens.

The first is a dinner menu for the Dominion. It is similar to, though not exactly like, yesterday’s 1948 dinner menu. The second, shown below, is also a dinner menu with a similar range of items but for the Toronto-Montreal pool trains. This means both table d’hôte and a la carte menus are squeezed into one page so that the left page can be printed in English while the right is in French. Continue reading

The Empress of Canada

The ship portrayed in the painting on this menu is the second to be called Empress of Canada. The first was built in 1920, while the ship shown here was built just eight years later and originally called the Duchess of Richmond. Both ships were impressed into troop carrier service in World War II, and the first empress was carrying a load of Italian prisoners of war when it was sadly, and ironically, torpedoed and sunk by an Italian submarine.

Reflecting changes in technology, the first Empress had three stacks, the second two, and the third just one. Continue reading

Banner Tour Lunch Menu

Most of the menus we’ve seen for tour groups on Canadian Pacific trains used the same colorful folders that were provided for ordinary diners. But for some reason this 1947 American Express Banner Tour of the West only rated a menu card, rather than a folder.

Jackfish Curve Menus

Jackfish Curve is a 180-degree turn around the end of an inlet on Lake Superior known as Tunnel Bay, after the tunnel that the train is emerging from at the bottom of the photo. The water in the background is Jackfish Lake. Although the line is level here, a helper engine is on the front of the train to get over the grades east of Lake Superior.

Construction of the railroad around Lake Superior may have cost more per mile than the initial construction over the Rocky Mountains, with some segments costing as much as $700,000 (around US$13 million today) per mile. Plus the inlet around Tunnel Bay added at least four miles to the route compared to a straight line, and there were many more such inlets along Lake Superior. Continue reading

Evangeline Park Menu

Evangeline Park was a memorial to the forced deportation of French-speaking Acadians from Nova Scotia at the end of the French & Indian War, which is sort of like having a U.S. memorial to the Dred Scott Decision. But Henry Wadsworth Longfellow had written a poem about the deportation and its effect on one imaginary woman named Evangeline, and the poem led tourists to want to visit the sites that it named.

Kodachrome Menus

The introduction of Kodachrome film in 1935 revolutionized railroad advertising, and some the results can be seen on Canadian Pacific menus. The oldest photo-based menus that I’ve found are from 1938. Today’s menus from the Chung collection start in 1939. Each of these menus happens to be in a different series.

The back cover of this 1939 breakfast menu for the Dominion repeats Canadian Pacific’s quaint habit of hyphenating the word “ski-ing.” It briefly describes skiing in the Canadian Rockies, on Lac Beauport near Chateau Frontenac, and in the Laurentians, plus briefly mentions several other ski locations accessible by Canadian Pacific trains. This menu has what I call the “art nouveauish” border above and below the photo, making it part of a series with at least four other menus. Continue reading

Chateau Frontenac 1946 & 1947 Menus

I have three menus today with a winter photo of Canadian Pacific’s Quebec City hotel that I don’t think we’ve seen before. The first is a 1946 lunch menu that was used on the CN-CP pool trains between Montreal and Toronto. Naturally, the menu is bilingual and managed to squeeze both table d’hôte and a la carte menus on both the English and French sides of the folder.

Note that the name of the hotel on the front cover is in the Bodoni typeface. The back cover, however, uses the Stymie typeface, which was designed in 1931. Continue reading

Emerald Lake 1945 Lunch Menu

Canadian Pacific built a lodge at Emerald Lake in 1902 and it still exists, although the current lodge appears to have expanded considerably from what is pictured on this menu cover. Of course, the lodge was closed in 1945 due to the war, but the menu could give people a glimpse of what they might enjoy after the war’s end. Behind the lodge in the photo is Mount Burgess, site of the famous Burgess Shale fossil beds.

Both menus today are dated 1945, during which the lodge was closed due to the war. The first is a dinner menu used on the Dominion. On the left side is a table d’hôte dinner featuring chicken, lamb, crab, or mushroom omelet, for $1.25 (about US$14 today). On the right side, a flyer advertising a Pacific sea food dinner for $1.00 is glued over the beverage menu. Continue reading

Emerald Lake Menu

Emerald Lake was discovered by an early guide named Thomas Wilson. Wilson got his start working as an assistant for A.B. Rodgers, who surveyed the Canadian Pacific route over the Rockies. Wilson discovered and named two different lakes Emerald Lake, but one of them was later renamed Lake Louise, which is east of the Continental Divide. This is the other Emerald Lake, which is in Yoho National Park west of the divide.

Mount Rundle

It’s October, 1945, and the war is officially over. But that may not have been true when this menu was designed, as the back cover speaks of the war in the present tense. The recreationists shown on the front cover are perfectly appropriate as they are in uniform and, what is more, the photo is courtesy of the Royal Canadian Air Force.

The title on the menu cover is a combination of serifed (but in a font known as Stymie, not Bodoni) and script (but in a font then known as Grayda, now known as Genesis, which is also different from the earlier script cover faces) typefaces. Inside, the menu, which is marked for the Dominion, offers dinners for $1.00 and $1.25. Multiply prices by 11 to approximate today’s U.S. dollars.
