Not having any bus or tram or taxi at hand, I thought I could add a railway-related card to this week's Thursday Postcard Hunt. It shows the Columbus Union Station Arch (Arena District, Columbus, Ohio, the USA).
The stamps on the envelope were issued in 2019 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railway. They have some golden accents difficult to appreciate from a picture. I think some people took the central one for a label without face value, but it is a real stamp.

ReplyDeleteJe les trouve spectaculaires.
DeleteI can only imagine how beautiful the station was from this arch! There is so little respect and appreciation for architecture in Can/USA.
ReplyDeleteAt least they keep the arch!
DeleteA majestic arch. Unexpected around "here"....
ReplyDeleteCertainly, not the usual postcard from Ohio :)
DeleteIt looks like something that belongs in Europe! I looked it up, and the station was something too.
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteLove the Golden Spike stamp and its position joining the two rails. They built some beautiful stations in the past, at least the arch remains as a memory.
ReplyDeleteSome modern railway stations would deserve a stamp as well!
DeleteThat was a great stamp set the USPS issued!
ReplyDeleteI really love it.
