Burlington 1962 Calendar

In 1962, Burlington still favored passenger trains enough to put the Twin Cities Zephyr on its calendar. But it realized that freight was important enough to put a freight train there as well.

Compared with the freight train, the Zephyr looks pretty small. In fact, it is small as it has only four dome cars instead of the usual five. This appears to be a photo, but I wonder how much they retouched it to make sure that most of the freight cars in the foreground had the Burlington name or logo.
