At least four of the photos on the 1957 calendar were also used on menus starting with the opening page showing the domeliner City of Portland in the Columbia River Gorge. As I noted on the page presenting that menu, as far as I know, that is the only menu cover with a photo of a Union Pacific train, but with so many nice photos of the City of Los Angeles in calendars over the years, it seems likely that one of them made it to a menu cover as well.

Among the more interesting photos on the 1957 calendar are a night photo of Hoover Dam, Pikes Peak (unusual because UP didn’t go to nearby Colorado Springs), and Yellowstone Lake. Most of the others are of the usual suspects.
