This vintage railway poster advertises the auto-couchette car-carrying sleeper train service operated by the Belgian national railway SNCB/NMBS. Introduced during the 1960s, the service allowed passengers to travel overnight while their car was transported on the same train, connecting Belgium with destinations such as Avignon, Toulouse, Biarritz, Munich and Salzburg. The poster reflects the clean, modernist graphic style of the period, combining bold typography with a simplified illustration of a train to promote the convenience of European rail travel.
