The ELDCPS has picked up several unique and rare menus
that we can offer to the EL list. This menu dates
from October 6, 1969 and was for dinner on the 15th
Safari of the Phoebe Snow Club, which ran from Hoboken
to Chicago for the annual meeting of the Purchases and
Materials Management Division of the American
Association of Railroads. This train had 8 sleeping
cars (some leased from Penn Central), the two Budd
diners, lounge 752 and Tavern-Lounge Car 790. This
was the finest EL menu ever issued. Dinner started
with Maine Lobster Bisque and Spiced Watermelon Rind,
then baked chicken or Florida Pompano or Boneless
Sirloin Steak for the main course, and finished off
with banana stuffed baked apple. This menu is a lot
larger than any of the other EL-era menus. This train
was really the last great EL passenger train as the
Lake Cities would be terminated less than one month
later. They are available for $25 each, postage
included. If you would like to reserve one, email me
off-list. I have attached two scans of these menus
but they don't show the nice maroon print on grey
background very well. As always, the proceeds will go
towards the restoration of EL diner 741.

Thanks,
Tim Stuy
Secretary - ELDCPS
