I think that's a good addition, but preferably we wouldn't tie it to a specific version in the description. I could see other people submitting PRs just to update this in the future.
Maybe just a sample like this would be enough?
rails _<version>_ new
It may be fine to show a specific version in the "examples", not sure if a generic version example like this would work there too:
`rails _<version>_ new ~/Code/Ruby/weblog`
This generates a new Rails app with the provided version in ~/Code/Ruby/weblog.
Would that be enough indication to help next time?

Motivation / Background
This Pull Request has been created because I never remember how to create a new rails application using a beta or rc release.
gem install rails --preinstalls the latest prerelease version, currently this is7.1.0.beta1.Then which command should I type to generate a new project using
7.1.0.beta1, I never remember.rails --help gives me no clue.
I'd like to avoid googling this next time.
Detail
This Pull Request adds few lines to the helper text displayed when running
rails --helpdescribing how to create a new rails application using a prerelease or specific version.
