Railroads on Stamps & Covers of Austria
by Dexter C. Wright


Sc. B62 - 5/22/1923 - 240k red-brown - Streetcar at Main Square, Linz

Both the stamps on this page might be regarded as peripheral items in rail philately. Trams, trolleys, streetcars - whatever one chooses to call them - while they run on rails, are certainly a separate class of transportation from trains, though many collectors do include them in the field. So the top item, Sc. B62 is on fairly solid ground. Aerial trams, on the other hand, whlie they used to be included in our Handbook for some reason, are now excluded - and I think rightly so. The bottom item, Sc. C45, therefore, probably does NOT belong here.
