The Southern Railway Dining Car Cookbook
A meal in the dining car was the highlight of any train journey. There was a special magic in the clink of silverware, the rhythm of the rails beneath your feet, and the scent of something hearty wafting from the kitchen. The Southern Railway never officially published a “cookbook”—instead, recipes were tucked into folders aboard each dining car. As new dishes were introduced, mimeographed sheets would be circulated and added to the collection, creating a living archive of culinary tradition on the move.
Take a step back in time and savor meals from an era when life moved at a gentler pace—when travel wasn’t just about the destination, but about the experience. Back when getting there was half the fun.
