I haven't seen a copy of this book yet, but based on the date of April 1, 1948, this is the same cookbook that was offered a while ago on this list in PDF format on a CD. I was thinking of cleaning that document up and doing something like this for the BRHS, but it looks like I was beaten to the punch. I'd like to see a copy to see if it is worth getting vs just keeping my digital copy. Bryan J. Howell Superior, WI

At the Onalaska train show last Wed Tom Whitt showed me this book he just picked up that is a perfect companion to BB#77.
Here’s a description:
Aboard the Burlington’s famous Zephyrs, fine dining was as much a part of the journey as the gleaming stainless steel train itself. Dining aboard the Way of the Zephyrs is a faithful reproduction of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad’s original 1948 dining car cookbook, used by the railroad’s chefs during the height of the streamliner era. This authentic reprint preserves the exact recipes once prepared in the Burlington’s rolling kitchens — complete with the straightforward instructions and period flavor of the mid-20th century. From breakfast staples and elegant entrées to classic desserts served on the Morning and Denver Zephyrs, this volume offers a genuine taste of the CB&Q’s celebrated dining service. Perfect for railroad historians, vintage cookbook collectors, and anyone with an appetite for nostalgia, Dining aboard the Way of the Zephyrs brings the golden age of railroading right to your own kitchen table.
It’s available at Amazon, but Tom bought it from Ron’s Books at a slightly discounted price.
