Magazine ad from Union Pacific Railroad during WWII. The company asked the patience and understanding of its civilian passengers, as there were many persons in the military who needed to travel and had priority due to wartime. The locomotive pictured is an FEF-2, number 825.
Date
Seller dated this as 1943 and it seems correct. It certainly is within the 1941-1945 time frame of WWII.
