The 1943 envelope reflected the realities of World War II. This version came in a smaller size and also regular size. The front design was identical on both but the regular size envelope had the expanded graphics on the reverse.

The 1944 and 1946 versions were similar on the front, but the 1946 version promoted new Eagle trains which were planned, some of which never arrived as named, such as the Sunshine Eagle and the Nueces Eagle.

By 1948, all promotion was focused on the streamlined Eagle trains.
