Description

Taiwan’s railways have a long history. To provide passengers with a more comfortable and convenient travel experience, Taiwan Railway Corporation, Ltd. continues to introduce new trains. Chunghwa Post has issued a set of six stamps, each valued at NT$8, printed in a se-tenant strip. The stamps are hand-drawn to show impressive appearances of the trains. The stamps are described as follow:
1.EMU3000: A new intercity express train with the design spirit of “Silent Flow.” It has one business-class car named “Tengyun Cabin” in honor of Taiwan’s first steam locomotive “Tengyun Hao.”
2.EMU900: A functional electric train for commuter. The exterior design seeks to provide “A Smiling Welcome” to passengers. The interior is modern-looking to provide a restful and relaxing atmosphere with ergonomic seats that greatly raise the level of comfort.
3.R200: A high-performance, next-generation environmentally friendly diesel-electric locomotive with a powerful engine. In addition to hauling freight trains, it serves the military, provides rescue and pulls maintenance trains.
