Update: I recently realized that UP often put the train numbers of the trains the menus were used on in the lower right corner with the menu date. In this case, the numbers say “11 & 12,” which refers to the Idahoan, a heavyweight train that went from Omaha to Portland. The 1951 timetable says the train had standard sleepers and coaches, with a diner and a club lounge added west of North Platte.

Here’s a menu used on the streamlined City of Portland that featured the train’s namesake city on the cover. The city in this pre-1954 view looks much different from today, when there are more and taller skyscrapers and bridges across the Willamette River. But Mt. Hood still looms over the city from the east and Mt. Tabor, in the middle ground of this photo, is still a prominent park.

Just like on the Empire Builder, the Great Northern offered postcards and stationery to passengers on the Western Star. This unused postcard shows Blackfeet Indians greeting Western Star passengers at Glacier National Park.

Coffee Shop Menu

The Western Star’s coffee shop only had 20 seats, which didn’t allow for many customers over the course of a day. But the menu offered almost as many items as the a la carte side of the dining car menu, including fourteen sandwiches, three salads, ten desserts, five kinds of bread (including doughnuts), and coffee, tea, milk, and milkshakes. Curiously, soft drinks are not on the menu.

Buffalo Hunt

Today’s Western Star menu features Buffalo Hunt on the cover, the same painting that was on the cover of the Empire Builder menu I previously posted. Although this dinner menu dates from 1953, it is different from the 1953 dinner menu I posted two days ago.

The a la carte side is roughly similar to, but not exactly the same as, the previous dinner menu.

Intercepted Wagon Train

Today’s Western Star menu features Charles Russell’s painting, “Intercepted Wagon Train,” on the cover. It is a lunch menu that seems to be identical, on the inside, to yesterday’s Desperate Stand lunch menu. Apparently, one year did not see much inflation in the 1950s.

Desperate Stand

Along with the observation cars with Charles Russell paintings, the Western Star apparently inherited the Empire Builder’s Charles Russell menus. There were originally five observation cars in the series, with one more added for the Western Star, so there must have been six paintings and six menus, but I’ve so far only identified four: Desperate Stand, Buffalo Hunt, Intercepted Wagon Train, and Indian Warfare. Evidence in the Minnesota Historical Society suggests that the fifth was Indian Women Moving, but I have no idea about the sixth.

Here, Desperate Stand is on the cover of a 1954 lunch menu that features “G.N. Chicken Pie,” fried fish, beef pot roast, “sliced cold fowl,” and “chef’s suggestion” on the table d’hote side. For $1.75 to $2.00 (about $14 to $16 in today’s dollars), these meals come with potatoes, corn, bread, dessert, and coffee, tea, milk, or buttermilk.

Advertising the Western Star

Because the Western Star was the Great Northern’s premiere train that stopped at Glacier Park, advertising for the train was directly connected with advertising for the park. The Great Northern had built and, until 1960, operated many of the hotels in the park, so people who took the train to the park and stayed in its hotels ended up patronizing the railroad’s facilities twice.

The Western Star

When the Great Northern purchased equipment for a second transcontinental streamliner, it decided to retire the name Oriental Limited. This had been the railway’s premiere train from 1905 to 1929 and its secondary transcontinental from 1929 to 1931, when it was cut due to the Depression, and from 1946 to 1951. To name the new secondary streamliner, the railway held a “name-the-train” contest in 1950.

And the winning entry in the contest was . . . the Evergreen! That name was good enough to earn the contestant a prize, but apparently not good enough to actually use, as the GN instead named the “new” train the Western Star. Note that the train’s logo uses a five-pointed star with two points hollowed out so that it does dual-service as an arrowhead.

Rio Grande Prospector

In November, 1941, the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad inaugurated the Prospector, a pair of Budd-built two-car trains that went overnight between Denver and Salt Lake City via the Moffat Tunnel. Unfortunately, the trains proved inadequate for the job: with only 44 seats and 18 beds, demand exceeded capacity; while the little 192-HP Hercules Diesels were insufficient for getting the trains over the mountains. Within eight months the Rio Grande returned the trains to Budd and they were scrapped.

After the war, the Rio Grande reintroduced the Prospector name using General Motors Diesel locomotives pulling heavyweight passenger cars painted yellow with four black pinstripes. In 1950, the train was fully streamlined, though photos of the train show that heavyweights were still used from time to time.
