This beautiful train came from Japan and is called Twilight Express. Its service started in July 1989, initially operating as a charter. In the following years other coaches were introduced. Between 2001-2002 the coaches underwent a program of interior refurbishment. But sadly, at the beginning of next year, its services are scheduled to be discontinued. The train shown in the postcard have an EF81 electric locomotive and runs on the Kosei railway line, operated by JR West.
The stamp belongs to a 10 stamps serie issued in October 2013 and shows the 1957 Odakyu 3000 romancecar.
Thank You, Nozomi !
