The poster shows steam and diesel trains arriving and departing at South Grid sidings on the Imperial Chemical Industries site at Billingham, near Stockton-on-Tees. (ICI chemical works). It describes how ICI relied on British Railways each year to deliver nearly 2 million tons of coal and 150,000 tons of other commodities to its chemical works at Billingham. BR was also responsible for transporting three quarters of a million tons of other products dispatched from the works. Artwork by Terence Cuneo, who studied at the Chelsea and Slade Art Schools. In addition to a long career designing railway posters, he also painted portraits (including royal portraits) and ceremonial and military subjects.
