“Keep ’Em Going!” — U.S. Railroad Administration, 1918

Printed at the height of World War I, this 1918 poster was created by the U.S. Railroad Administration to rally support for the nationalized rail system. The artwork shows a caricature of Kaiser Wilhelm II fleeing from an American locomotive—a bold, clear message backed by a quote from William G. McAdoo, the Director General of Railroads. McAdoo had been appointed by President Woodrow Wilson in late 1917, when the government took temporary control of the nation’s railroads to keep wartime supply lines moving. The order held through the end of the war, remaining in effect until 1920.

Our reproduction keeps the punchy linework and wartime urgency of the original while giving the piece new clarity through clean, period-true printing. Presented as a 20x30 framed print, it’s built on museum-grade archival stock, fitted in a sturdy frame, and ready to hang straight out of the box.

A sharp piece of American wartime history—clear, bold, and built to last.
