Union Pacific 1985 Calendar

The 1985 calendar has the usual combination of four train and eight purely scenic photos. UP is also balancing its recent acquisition of Western Pacific and Missouri Pacific with two train photos on Western Pacific lines and three photos (one of them of an MP train) in Missouri Pacific territory.

Like the 1981 calendar, the December photo shows the Grand Tetons in winter from the Idaho side, probably taken on the same cross-country ski or snowshoe trip as the 1981 photo. To take these pictures, the photographer somehow had to trek six miles up nearly 4,000 feet. The trail ends at Table Mountain, which is visible on the right-hand side of the 1981 photo, but not in the 1985 photo. Whoever took the photos would have to have been an expert skier and/or in really good shape for snowshoeing.

The July photo of a Missouri Pacific train crossing a long bridge with downtown Dallas in the background nicely shows the new horizons opened by UP’s purchase of that railroad, as does August’s photo of Jackson Square in New Orleans. The November photo of the Sawtooth Mountains near Sun Valley reveals UP’s preoccupation with fences.

None of the other photos are particularly spectacular. Of course, UP photographers can’t be faulted for that, as the person who selected the photos may have had more plebeian tastes than the photographers themselves. In at least some years, the calendar photos were chosen by UP’s president.

“I recall during John Kenefick‘s years as president [1971-1983], he would come downstairs from the 12th floor with his administrative assistant Herb Grau and they would walk around in the photo department where large color prints would be displayed on easels,” writes John Bromley of the Union Pacific Museum in Council Bluffs. “Mr. Kenefick wouldn’t say much, he would simply point at the winners.”
