More than just a classic railroad ad, this series of magazine ads placed by the Pennsylvania Railroad truly demonstrate the patriotism, hard work, and sacrifices that were made by our families, industry, and our nation in fighting for freedom when the whole world was at war. Produced throughout 1944-1945, these ads posted the running total of Pennsylvania Railroad employees that had entered the Armed Forces and the number that gave their lives for our country. Numbers for this ad: 53,490 served - 906 gave their lives. Being too young to have experienced this era directly, I am always awed and humbled by these ads.
