Transcontinental RR Commemorative Stamp Release May 10
Posted by peahrens on Friday, April 12, 2019 10:55 AM

I noticed this week that the previously announced USPS stamps celebrating the project completion and golden spike ceremony now have a release date (May 10) and pre-order ability on the USPS site.

Makes me feel old, it does! I remember the Centennial go around!

The "Centennial Limited" stopped in Cleveland for a rest back in 1969:

Ed, let's plan to meet up at the 175th ("Dodransbicentennial").  I expect the 844, 4014 and 3985 all to be there.  My attendance may be "iffy", depending on what else is on my calendar.
