Unfortunately, I am missing the 1941 and 1942 calendars, so the next one is for 1943. This calendar was printed on seven comb-bound sheets, allowing for all twelve months plus December 1942 on the front cover and photo descriptions on the back cover (which, for some reason, was printed upside down).

Since this was in the midst of World War II, the pages heavily promote UP’s contribution to that effort. A picture of Sun Valley says that it helps “keep America fit.” A photo of a streamliner says that it is “important for fast transport in defense.” An engineer is a “soldier of the home front.”
At least three of the photos were also used on what I call the Patriotic series of menu covers. The April photo of a Kaiser shipyard was shown here previously on a 1946 menu; the California Railroad Museum has one on a 1945 menu. The February photo of “Union Pacific women” doing Red Cross work is on an undated California Railroad Museum menu. The March photo of people picking and sorting carrots is on a California Railroad Museum 1945 menu.

Two other photos should be singled out for their quality. January shows a Union Pacific 4-8-4 locomotive at night; the photo is well-lit and the photographer has clearly used a lot of lights, a la O. Winston Link. The September photo of a steam locomotive engineer is also a dramatically lit night shot with a yellowish light that makes you think it might be the glow from the firebox.
The December photo is a little too maudlin for me. It shows a little boy in front of a Christmas tree whose elderly grandparents and mother are all looking somber because the boy’s father, whose photo in uniform is on the mantle, is away fighting the war. On a cheerier note, the boy has a Lionel Union Pacific streamliner under the Christmas tree.
