Luncheon menu, 1977.

Multi-color printed paper menu issued in October 1977 for use on long-distance trains. From the Ann Owens Collection. The front of this double-sided menu features a collage of famous landmarks in cities and regions served by Amtrak, including the United States Capitol, Golden Gate Bridge, Statue of Liberty and a southwestern desert landscape. The locomotive at the bottom edge wears the Phase II paint scheme introduced in 1975. Lunch options include appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches and desserts.
