Looks like a WWII poster.Early model Burlington E unit.Giving away my age here,I was 11 yeas old
when Pearl Harbor went down! Month shy of my 12th birthday. Recall seeing those Burlington units
on joint St.Louis-Twin Cites Zephyr-Rocket on the Rock Island. Every other day had Burlington power and equipment.Recall the day in 1945 when the Japs called it quits! Harry Truman declared a national holiday.Was a little ticked off! Lied my age,had a summer job at the Illinois Central shops where I lived. Just got a paycheck,no where open to cash my check.
