This postcard I got at the Railway Museum in Utrecht (which happens to celebrate its 90th anniversary tomorrow).
Some years ago we visited this nice museum and that day there was an additional theme: safety on and besides the railways:
I must say that I prefer the present (electric) trains to the older (steam) ones. The main reason is the fact that these modern electric trains remind me of my trips to and with my late grandparents in the seventies.
An other reason is of course that the old, steam engined, trains produced a lot of smoke.
Nevertheless I was very happy to receive these postcards:
From John, from the United Kingdom:
On the back he added this matching stamp:
From Nomi, from Sri Lanka:
From Ravindra, also from Sri Lanka:
Be sure to check Ravindra's train blog, he collects postcards of trains and trams and has received many, from all-over the world!
And here a modern Japanese high speed train, I received from Hana, who designed this maxi/postcard by herself:
Finally a few trams:
From Natalie, a double deck tram sent from Hong Kong:
From John, also a double deck tram:
And this horse power driven tram:
The following postcard is Dutch and has been sent by me to Ravindra. It shows three historical trams. These - and other historical trams - still ride in summer between Amsterdam and Amstelveen, thanks to the people from the Tramway Museum:
