Milwaukee Road 1954 Calendar

This calendar, unlike yesterday’s, has the right color of trains for an early-’50s Milwaukee Road publication. I don’t see a signature on the illustration. In fact, I think it is a photograph with the people in the foreground heavily retouched by a graphics artist.

Although the Olympian Hiawatha in the illustration went to Seattle, the lake shown is probably in Wisconsin. Thus, the calendar effectively advertises the Twin Cities Hiawatha as well as the Olympian.
