Union Pacific 1996 Calendar

Union Pacific had taken over the Chicago and North Western in 1995, and the February photo of this calendar shows a C&NW train in the Powder River Coal Basin. While this photo is credited to “CNW,” all the other photos were credited to specific photographers.

At some point, a Union Pacific executive suggested to the railroad’s public relations department that all of the photos in the calendars should have trains in them. This one comes closer than any previous edition, with ten train photos and only two pure scenery photos. Both of the scenic photos were taken by the same La Grande, Oregon photographer, Jeffrey Torretta, who also had two photos in the 1992 calendar. His October photo is especially good.

Two heritage photos include one of the 3985 steam locomotive in August and one of the 951 E-9 passenger Diesel in December. Most of the other train photos all look as if the locomotives had been freshly washed right before the photographer snapped the picture, which is partly because the photographers made sure to shoot from the sunny side of the trains.

This was Union Pacific’s last calendar in this format. Starting in 1997, it went to a more standard folding calendar, with the photos above the fold and monthly dates below. I haven’t collected any of those and nor do I plan to.

Between 1940 and 1996, UP issued 57 different calendars, and I’ve presented them all here except 1941 and 1942. UP also had two editions in the years, one with all western scenes and one with a few eastern scenes, from 1960 through 1966, and I’ve posted both editions. If UP published two editions for any other years, I haven’t found any evidence of it.
