In 2014, Germany celebrated 175 years of rail service; the first stretch being between Leipzig and Dresden. The drawing was done by C.E. Bommer and shows the original viaduct in Dresden-Trachau, which was replaced in 1898-99. The photograph shows a locomotive from the Leipzig rail museum on the viaduct in Leipzig-Wahren.

The viaduct in the souvenir sheet issued by Belgium in 2014 "The World of the Train" dominates the picture and almost makes the locomotives look small. Would they be diesel-powered with all that white smoke/steam?

These stamps are the first official Belgium stamps with 'augmented reality'. When you hold the page with the stamp before smartphone or tablet, you will travel through landscapes on your computer screen https://www.altaplana.be/dictionary...of_the_train

Belgium celebrated 100 years of rail service in 1935. The initials J.D. indicate Jean De Bast, the great Belgian engraver (1883-1975). This stamp was used for sending packages by rail.



(Hi, Alexey, I had heard of this special feature, but since I do not have a smartphone or a tablet, I can't try it out!. K.)

The Glenfinnan viaduct, crossing the River Finnan, even carries the Jacobite steam train. The line was opened at the beginning of the past century and is now popular among tourists (and H. Potter readers?). It was constructed of mass concrete, and has 21 spans of 50 feet. Stamp 2003. (Thanks Cursus, the Glenfinnan monument is down at the waters of Loch Shiel. K.)

The second stamp of the 2016 set honoring Capability Brown, this one with the bridge across the Glyme at Blenheim Palace. This huge estate house is located in Oxfordshire and is the home of the Marlborough/Churchill family.


(Hello Alexey, Indeed a good photograph of the Hohenzollern! The Cathedral doesn't even have any scaffolding, which it usually does. Do you know for what occasion Japan issued the stamp? K.)

The Rhätische Bahn is a rail network located in the eastern part of Switzerland. It was constructed during the last two decades of the 19th century and still operates with a few steam engines on narrow gauge tracks. Most engines are now electric or diesel. It has become a UNESCO world heritage site. Some of the grand viaducts are shown in other postings. The special commemorative sheet is a "Kollektionsbogen" and was not simply available at the post office.




(Hi Alexey, Do you have this sheet? My picture is a scan from the Liechtenstein Post. K.)

Italy honored one of the viaducts of the Rhätische Bahn, the Landwasser Viaduct on the stamp of 2010. This viaduct is 65 meters high and 136 meters long. Christo would have enjoyed seeing the viaduct during renovation in 2009.
