| Description | A very interesting menu from The Pullman Company Chicago Commissary files from near the end of Pullman operations. This menu was sent to the printer (Pullman Press was no longer printing menus for the Commissary) for changes from a 1965 menu for the Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad's Washington to Chicago train The Capitol Limited into a new "R" version for 1966. A proof copy from the printer was requested. The biggest changes were an increase in prices, the addition of a Vodka Martini and the removal of White Rock Club Soda, Gin Rickey and Black & White Scotch Whisky (Whiskey). The old menu code of BV-31-Q-2C-J65 was changed to BV-31-R-4C-F66. One historian who is extremely familiar with Pullman operations informs me that the "R" series menus were one of the last large series of menus produced. A nice piece of history showing changes between menus and how menus were updated by Pullman. |
