List, The picture you are describing is the 1950 Burlington calendar art.
It was done by Eads . I bought this print on the Ebay auction. It still
had the metal strip and ring to hang it up by attached. Archie

> I was looking at a print for sale on e-bay by an artist George B Eads or
Eadz depicting a CB&Q yard with steam, some F units and a zephyr. I
recognized the style as similar to a sign that I have in my train room. The
sign is an embossed metal sign may by the AAA sign Company in Ohio. It
looks like it could have been an advertisement fro the Ak-Sar-Ben zephyr,

the actor.
