Sorry, but I think I can beat that one! The Railroad Gazette
1889 vol. 21 page 30 announced -
The well known rectangular black-and-white trade-mark
of the Chicago, Burlington
& Quincy makes its new year appearance in
connection with a clear and convenient office calendar, and surrounded by an
elaborate steel engraving, made especially for the company by John A. Lowell
& Co., of Boston.
The subject of the engraving is the chariot race described by Gen. Lew Wallace
in his story of “Ben-Hur”, and the artist has treated it very
effectively.

Here's a newspaper ad that ran in papers in Q
territory in early 1900. Is this the earliest calendar produced by the
railroad?
