Picked up a book recently,related to this subject, (l hope), "Dining By Rail", James D. Porterfield. It explores providing food for rail travelers, it's origin and development. About a third of the book comprises dining car entree menus for over fifty different railroads (if you can cook far better than l) .It addresses the Harvey Girls, and the Big Shanty hotel meal stop that provided the opportunity for The Great Locomotive Chase.
