Description
A Speedy Termination Of The War.
This is an authentic, museum-quality World War I propaganda poster representing a critical moment in American wartime mobilization. Circa 1917-1918, this piece directly targeted railroad workers as essential personnel whose labor was vital to the Allied victory.
Historical Significance:
During WWI, the U.S. government recognized that railroad workers were the backbone of military logistics—transporting troops, ammunition, and supplies across the nation. This powerful poster is part of a series urging workers to answer the nation’s call. The dramatic composition, featuring endless rows of freight cars and American flags, conveys both the scale of the war effort and the individual responsibility placed on American workers.
