Description
This poster celebrates women’s contributions to the railroad industry during World War Two. Here, “Mrs. Casey Jones” personifies the thousands of women who entered the workforce in formerly male-oriented jobs. While no women were over the road engineers on U.S. railroads, they made significant contributions in yards and maintenance facilities to help keep the trains in operation.
