What is the poster that the Thai railway company used to post to alert passengers and the general public?

In the Kingdom of Thailand, where railways have been operated by

the National Railways of Thailand since 1951, the 'Railway Safety Posters' posted from 1965 to 1968 are on display at the Railway Museum attached to Bangkok Station.
