As with the 1990 calendar, photos for the 1991 calendar were taken by Union Pacific employees or members of their families. This led to some embarrassment when UP officials discovered, apparently after the calendars were printed, that the March photo of the former Western Pacific Keddie Wye had two Union Pacific locomotives “crudely pasted in the background of the otherwise train-less picture.” This led the railroad to invite all railfans, and not just employees, to submit photos for later calendars.

Of course, whoever selected the photos is just as much to blame as the photographer (listed as an electrical engineer named Baker Erickson). I have to wonder if the locomotives were really “crudely pasted” on the photo or if Erickson used Photoshop, which had been introduced in early 1990. Either way, it doesn’t take too close of a look to see that the locomotives aren’t at the correct angle to sit on the tracks. (I also have to wonder why Erickson didn’t just wait a few minutes for a real train to come by.)

Seven of the photos show UP trains, including two of the 8444 steam locomotive. While the May image of the 8444 is quite satisfying, if a little underexposed, the November close-up is so dark it could be of any industrial complex.

An eighth photo shows UP’s Harriman Dispatch Center in Omaha, leaving only four photos that are strictly scenery. This includes a sunset photo in October that says it was taken in Texas — the only photo in former Missouri Pacific territory — but is so generic it could have been anywhere. Even the image of Colorado’s extremely photogenic Crystal Mill is compromised by the poor lighting of the mill itself.

The best photo of the lot is probably the January photo shown above. The parallel lines formed by the top of the train and the top of the mountains in the background draw the eye into the photo and make it a clear winner.
