THE
RAILROADS OF MONTANA The Railroads of Montana calendars are available has an Adobe® Reader .pdf file. It will be a fairly large file [between 7 & 10 megs], so even with a broadband/cable connection, it may take awhile to download. I will make an announcement on some of the railroad discussion groups when the each new year is up and ready to download. The files for 2011 are set up so that you download six months at a time, which will come out to twelve-pages to print [24-pages for the entire year]. Each month has one 8 1/2" x 11" landscape format calendar image and one 8 1/2" x 11" calendar text page. I used the exact same calendar format and fonts as the original, so if you print out the photo section of the calendar on "Photo" paper and the calendar portion on high-quality paper - you should have a fairly good representation of the original calendar. I suppose printing and color perception will be subject to your monitor, printer and paper. These are variables that cannot be predicted, since it would be impossible to anticipate every possible configuration of monitor, printer and paper. That being said, I have tried to set the colors, brightness, contrast and saturation to a "neutral" balance so that everyone should be able to enjoy the publication on just about any computer configuration Click here for the 2012 Railroads of Montana calendar.
