Description

These menus are from the standard passenger trains of the Pennsylvania Railroad. By this time, dining car service was available to nearly all passengers on the railroad rather than only the very wealthy. Railroads were competing for passengers with automobiles and airplanes, so it was in their interest to appeal to the largest number of customers possible.
