Union Pacific stepped up its advertising in this calendar, which includes not one but three different photos of trains. We’ve seen one of the tunnels shown in the January photo below in an old postcard made when there was only one tunnel through this Utah ridge. More recently, someone has posted a video of Union Pacific’s restored Big Boy emerging from the eastbound tunnel (see below).

Other photos in this calendar include a Colorado ghost town, an Iowa sunset, and a farm in Idaho’s Silver Valley. Union Pacific and Northern Pacific once vied for mining business in the Silver Valley, but by 1974 the rails were long gone.
