Last week I wrote a post about the Transcontinental Railroad and mentioned that I had not yet received a stamp that had been sent to me. See: The Transcontinental Railroad Final Link?

Last week I used a couple railroad stamps from my collection.

The first was to commemorate 125 years of Rail Transportation.

The second one honored railroad engineers.

I had scanned these two stamps about railroad history from my Stamp Collection.

Today I received the Transcontinental Railroad stamp in the mail along with some other ones that I had ordered.

Here you can see stamps ready to place in my album to complete this page.

Now that I have the 1944 stamp that commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Transcontinental Railroad. I decided to share it to complement my post from last week.

The post last week was inspired by a colleague who gave me an old postcard of the Union Pacific Railway Bridge crossing the Missouri River.

The postcard also had an old stamp which made me think of a post I had written back in 2013. I had used the first two stamps in this post to illustrate it back then.

Since I have made a Return to Stamp Collecting, I have some ideas about how to use stamps to illustrate some new posts.
