The opening photo of the 1967 calendar shows a freight train pulled by GP-35s, but the the next photo (for the year 1967) shows the City of Portland in eastern Idaho. The train in the picture still has a dome diner as well as dome coach and dome lounge, but the dome diners would soon disappear.

This is the eastern version of the calendar and includes photos of Mt. Vernon and the Coast Guard Academy in New London, Connecticut. I don’t know what the corresponding photos were on the western version.
I’d call three to five of the other photos clichés: Jackson Lake; Mount Hood; horseback riders overlooking Sun Valley; maybe Bryce; and maybe a Sun Valley winter photo. The latter photo is partly redeemed by being taken at night. Bryce is questionable because each part of the park is distinctive but, if you haven’t been there, photos of it tend to blur into just a bunch of orange rocks. (I spent two days there once and took 3,000 photos, and sometimes have a hard time telling them apart myself.)

More original were photos of Yosemite; Newport Beach; Old Faithful from Observation Peak; horseback riders in the Grand Canyon; an unusual view looking down (instead of up) the Columbia River Gorge; Garden of the Gods; and Castle Valley near Zion. Although most of the calendars since 1960 have shared two photos with menus, I haven’t found any menus that used a photo from the 1967 calendar.
