The Railroads of Montana calendars are available as Adobe® Reader .pdf files in a compressed "Zip" file. They are fairly large files [between 7 & 10 megs], so even with a broadband/cable connection, it may take awhile to download. The files will come out 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.
