Sometime ago there was a brief thread on cancels used in the Amsterdam Central Station here: https://goscf.com/t/38870 and I recently bumped that thread to append a similar cancel I found from the Rotterdam Central Sation.

Now I have one from another country and thought it would be better to start a new thread rather than append to the Amersterdam thread.

Selsbakk Stasjon (Selsbakk Station)

According to Wikipedia, Selsbakk is a neighborhood in the bourough of Midtbyen, city of Trondheim. The station is 6.4 kilometers south of Trondheim Central Station.

Note: There are good threads on this forum about Belgian railway cancesl found on their Parcel Post stamps and we shouldn't duplicate that. Here we are looking for regular postal cancels from post offices located in railway stations worldwide, any time period.

I look forward to seeing what others may have.

I have many postmarks from French railway stations ("gares") in my "Marianne de Gandon" collection.

Here are some station cancels that I found among my French stamps:

Rouen Station (hope it's readable on here)


Limoges Station


This appears to be a partial Marseilles station cancel, but looks a bit different from the one vayolene posted above, espcially around the bottom.

vayolene - was surprised to see so many different stations around Paris. Are there still post offices in railway stations in France these days, or is that a thing of the past?
