Crowds of civilians flee as the Martians fighting machine observes them.  The classic science fiction novel War of the Worlds, first published by H.G. Wells in 1898, chronicles an Earth invasion by Martians, and humanity’s attempt to retake the planet. This novel-inspired freight car is decorated in a patriotic billboard scheme, featuring drawings from the 1906 edition, illustrated by Henrique Alvim Corrêa.
