TRAINS on POSTAL STATIONERY ARGENTINA

	ATA HB entry: H&G 15 - 1896 - 3¢ Postal Card - Cachet view of "Darsena Sud" with horse-drawn streetcar (horsecar) [One of a set of 10]; printed stamp indicium is a circular portrait of no railway interest
	H&G 15 - 1896 - 3¢ Postal Card - Cachet view of "ESTACION F.C. DEL SUD" [One of a set of 10]; printed stamp indicium is a circular portrait of no railway interest
	H&G 16 - 1896 - 4¢ Postal Card - Southern Railway Station, Buenos Aires, on stamp side (MUESTRA = SPECIMEN) [One of a set of 10] The text is "ESTACION F.C. DEL SUD" which is also called "Estacion Constitucion". TG Note the different positioning of the image and its title on the two items shown, making it clear they were printed separately from the indicium, lines, and offical text.
	H&G ?? - 189? (used 1898) - 4¢ (?) Postal Card - Cachet view of "ESTACION F.C. DEL SUD" This is probably another copy of the item directly above, but the cancel obscures the denomination, and it's a nice usage to Germany, so I'm including it.
	H&G A15 - 189? - 3c Letter Card - Cachet view of "ESTACION F.C. DEL SUD"
	H&G A16 - 189? - 4c Letter Card - Cachet view of "MERCADO DE FRUTOS" with freight cars on dock
	H&G A16 - 189? - 4c Letter Card - Cachet view of "EMBARCADERO DE ANIMALES" with train tracks on dock
	H&G A16a - 1898 - 4¢ Letter Card - Cachet view of water plant, steam train, Buenos Aires, 1898 [One of a set of ??]; printed stamp indicium is a circular portrait of no railway interest
	H&G A16a - 1899 - 4¢ Letter Card - Cachet view of steam train on rail bridge Text reads "PUENTE DEL F.C.N.O. ARGENTINO PROV. DE TUCUMAN" [One of a set of ??] printed stamp indicium is a circular portrait of no railway interest
	New Year letter-sheets, H&G G3a, 1900, 5c, postal indicium on outer side, photographic composite design including steam locomotive and cars on interior. Cream paper, indicium orange, interior design pale blue with brown in oval. According to H&G this was officially produced and issued, with six different interior designs, each in three different color combinations, making, in theory, 18 different items, but the designs are neither shown nor described, so there's no way to tell how many show a train. One of the color varieties is shown at left. 2/12/03 - I just learned that in addition to the color combinations, the pairings of outer and inner designs are also varied, so the number of possible items is much larger.

	New Year letter-sheets, H&G G11, 1902, 5c on 15c, postal indicia on outer side, photographic composite designs including trains on interior. Three different interiors with same indicium. According to H&G, these were issued "with the same designs as H&G G3", yet all of the ones shown differ both in layout and content from the examples of G3 I have seen, so either H&G is wrong, or I am misinterpreting it. .
	KD: Argentina 4c picture postal card issued 19 Nov 49 marking Post & Telecommunications in the 5 year plan card no 1 shows railway lines on map card no 2 shows details of railway postal wagons in two different colours
	Postal card, 75c, 1 of 2, issued 10/29/1999, one for Ushuaia, world's southernmost city, with small photo of antique steam locomotive and carriages
