Local booklet cover: Kristiansand |
2002 |
|
 The
front cover of this booklet shows a map of the city of
"Kristiansand," located on the south coast of Norway. It is the
administrative centre of its region and one of the main ports in
Norway. At the left side of the map we can see the tracks and
buildings on the railway station area, including the former harbour
of the railway ferry to Hirtshals in Denmark. Kristiansand is one of
the main stations on the
Sørland Railway between Oslo and Stavanger, and the original
terminal station of the
Setesdal
Railway, a 78 km (49 miles) long narrow gauge branch line to
Byglandsfjord.
This local booklet was issued in connection with "Nordia 2002" a
Nordic stamp exhibition. The booklet contains 8 stamps of no railway
interest. |
