A printed dining-car menu from the Northern Pacific Railway, 1900. Survived from the golden era of American railroad first-class travel.
American railroad dining cars were a moving billboard of first-class service. The Pennsylvania, Union Pacific, Northern Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Pullman dining services each issued distinctive menu cards — often illustrated with route maps, landscapes, or company seals — that today are highly collectable Americana.
