Titled "Railroads and National Defense." A subtitle at the bottom reads, "This is what the railroads gave done and are doing --- A billion-dollar-a-year program of preparedness--- For the defense of our nation." The poster features several illustrations and black and white photos that show trains, railway workers, and various other aspects of the industry. Additionally, eleven paragraphs situated amongst the art explain the importance of railroads, how they serve the country, and provide several statistics, many being centered around World War II. Pink was used heavily throughout the design, including both titles. The back gives instructions for teachers to use in their lessons on railroads and National Defense. The top corner has a large, bold "7." Published by the School and College Service Association of American railroads, Transportation Building, Washington D.C. Unfolded it measures 58cm tall x 86cm wide.
