Window Card
vintage safety poster titled "Be Careful! Cross Crossings Cautiously", issued by the American Railway Association around the 1920s. It was part of a "Careful Crossing Campaign" to reduce collisions between trains and automobiles.
Poster Details

Organization: American Railway Association (ARA). The ARA was an industry trade group that later merged into the Association of American Railroads in 1934.
Campaign: This specific poster was part of a "Careful Crossing Campaign" that ran from June 1st to September 30th in 1922. Other sources estimate the poster to be from around 1910-1926.
Slogan: The primary message, "Cross Crossings Cautiously", became a well-known expression for railroad safety.
Purpose: The campaign's goal was to encourage drivers to be more attentive at grade crossings, as official campaigns often placed the blame for accidents on driver carelessness rather than unguarded crossings.
