NORWAY:
Local booklet: Sporveien (The Tramway) |
2006 |
|
 On
the
front cover there is a copy of an old postcard showing one of the
first trams running in the city of
Trondheim, the third largest city in Norway. The picture is taken at the main square.
You can see The Church of Our Lady (erected in the 12th century) in the background. Nowadays a visit to Trondheim
Tramway Museum presents you to the history of the city's two one metre
gauge tramway companies, started in 1901 and 1924, with an
exhibition of old trams and photos.
Inside the cover there are
some text and pictures of an old tramway parcels stamp and an old tramway season
ticket.
This local booklet was issued in connection with "Norfilex 06" a
national stamp exhibition. The booklet contains 5 similar stamps issued in 1994
also depicting an old tram. See this stamp
here. |
