I like sketch or painting of Riding Black Horses. It's interesting to see what was on the menu back in the day and the prices too!
ReplyDeleteThat was longer ago than I like to think it is, but 1935 was eighty years ago! Love the artwork especially. :-)
ReplyDeleteWe took an uncomfortable and late overnight ride west last summer on the Amtrac. I will say the food in the dinning car was really good though...:)
ReplyDeleteHello, I would have like to have ridden on the old passenger trains. The menu is a neat addition to your collection. Have a happy new week!
