> Charlie, The calendar with Aeolus is 1938. It was the only one
> which featured her. Let me share what I have thus far and maybe
> someone will fill in the gaps or correct me. 1935 was Renascence with
> Neb. state capitol building in background. 1936 was two silver
> Zephyrs passing. 1937 was also a silver Zephyr but just one, with a
> sunset in background. 1938 as I mentioned was the one with Aoelus,
> an early Denver Zephyr, and a steam engine I think. As Charlie
> mentioned the artist showed some ghost like images in the sky and
> this theme was also used in some following years. 1939 was the night
> time meeting of a Zephyr and a steam engine with what was probably
> the Chicago skyline in the background. The Zephyr is passing under a
> signal bridge. There are also some industrial buildings in the
> background. 1944 was the Pioneer Zephyr celebrating it's 10th
> birthday and it has ghosts of the many Zephyrs in the sky. 1941 had
> the Zephyr passing the way freight's red wooden waycar in a snow
> storm. This is one of my favorites. 1942 had the soldiers unloading
> a red BR boxcar into an army truck, with a Zephyr motor sitting
> beside it. 1943 was the lady powdering her nose and using the shiney
> nose of the Zephyr as a mirror. There are red caps in this picture
> which seems to be under a train shed. 1940 was the Silver King at
> dusk with a green signal on the track beside the Zephyr. Another one
> of my favorites. 1945 had the cowboy and the farmer watching
> several trains go by. 1946 was the dome shot of the first Vistadome
> car. I'll close out the decade with three question marks. Can anyone
> help here? Sorry I got 1940 and 1944 out of order. If there are
> needed corrections please say so. Will post more later. Archie
