We arrived this week for a couple days in Shanghai for Xmas, and took the super high speed MAGLEV train from the airport, which got up to at least 430 Kms!

There is a digital read out in the cabin as you can see from my photo below. Like a plane taking off speed it really was! $A6 a person - amazing.

I am sure China has issued a stamp for it? Anyone have a pic of that?

Recently back from a caravan trip thru northern NSW and came across a large amount of Locos/carriages at Dorrigo - might be of interest to Railway collectors and Train spotters?. Took a few pics but best viewed on Google Earth. Go to Tallowood Street, Dorrigo then "street view".
Have a look at the overhead view to asses the amount, staggering for such a small out of the way location.

Must be close to 100 passenger carriages and 15-20 Locos.
Don't know if they are planning a Museum or like but it looks like a massive job

On 25 December 2011 Taiwan issued this 100th Anniversary of the Alishan Forest Railway Commemorative Souvenir Sheet:

Alishan, with its beautiful natural scenery and rich ecological resources, is a world famous tourist destination. The Beimen to Erwanping section of Alishan Forest Railway officially opened to traffic on December 25, 1912. Along with the mountain’s sacred trees, sunrise, sunset, and sea of clouds, the railway is one of the “Five Wonders of Alishan.” The Alishan Forest Railway was once a very busy train track because of logging on the mountain. With changes to Taiwan’s economic structure, the railway’s role has shifted from a transporter of lumber to a cultural asset with its scenic spots and historical architecture dating from a century ago. The souvenir sheet has a bright color scheme with mountains and a route map in the background. Four different trains are featured. One of the two stamps features one train pulled by a No.31 steam engine passing through flowering cherry trees (NT$25); and the other, headed by a diesel engine, is coming out of the No.1 tunnel (NT$5). Elsewhere on the sheet there is a train on the No.13 Bridge over the Niuchou River and a train being pulled by the No. 25 steam engine. With its images of trains traversing the forest, the sheet is imbued with a great sense of dynamism. The beautiful golden emblem on the upper left corner signifies the railway’s glorious service over the last hundred years.

In legal terms what you saw was the Dorrigo Steam Railway and Museum.

When I lived on the mid-north coast in the 1960s there was a lot of publicity given to the actions of a group of people based in the region who wanted to keep the Glenreagh - Dorrigo branch line as an operating line. Due to the terrain it was always a big ask as the line rises 664m over a length of 69km and includes two tunnels and numerous bridges. The steep terrain and high rainfall makes construction and maintenance of this line quite difficult.

At its peak the line was very busy bringing timber down from the plateau but it is likely that it always ran at a loss. It was last used in 1972 and it now seems that the most we can hope for is small tourist railways at either end. Without major government funding the eastern end (which connects to the Main North Line between Coffs Harbour and Grafton) has a doubtful future.

The Dorrigo section is much more advanced but even so it is a very big project for a small community off the main tourist routes. See http://www.dsrm.org.au/ .

I posted this cover on My Trading Post: http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=33505 but thought I would share here too.

A nice cover from Ukraine to Canada, with registered stickers from sending and receiving post offices...
