AFT Promotional Poster
Style "A"
This advance promotional
poster was issued before the AFT Foundation had officially been
formed. Measuring approx. 23x32", this poster was nearly the
size of a theatrical movie poster.
According to Preamble
Express veteran Keith Muldowney, the poster depicts Grand Trunk
Western No. 5629, a 4-6-2 locomotive, and the artwork is based on
a photograph by the late Don Ball -- who worked for the American
Freedom Train. The photograph can be seen on page 234 of Don's book,
"Railroads, An American Journey", 1975.
This same graphic was
used on many items promoting the AFT concept including letterhead
and promotional brochures.
