Today's card meets totally one of my favorite theme: trains.
And when I say totally I mean the stamps as well.
And when I say totally I mean the stamps as well.
The train operates on the narrow gauge railway Niebüll–Dagebüll in Northern Germany. The picture is taken in at the end of July 2010 in Dagebüll Mole (on the ferry pier) which is the route's terminus point.
But I find it unusual how they combine the train: the Prusian old locomotive (1923) with the much newer wagons.
As I've metioned before, the stamps are in the theme, too.
Issued in february 2012, they celebrate 125 years of narrow gauge railways in the Harz Mountains (Schmalspurbahnen im Harz). The Harz Narrow Gauge Railways (German: Harzer Schmalspurbahnen) or HSB is a network of 1,000 mm gauge railways in the Harz mountains, in central Germany. It connects the principal towns of Wernigerode, Nordhausen and Quedlinburg and several smaller towns in the area with about 140 kilometres of track with 48 stations and stops, much of which is steeply graded and picturesque.
Many Thanks, Melita !
