CINCINNATI — The U.S. Postal Service will hold its first-day-of-issue event for “Railroad Stations Forever,” a five-stamp series, at Cincinnati Union Terminal on Thursday, March 9, at 11 a.m. EST.

The stamps, which depict Cincinnati Union Terminal, along with stations in Point of Rocks, Md.; Richmond, Va.; San Bernardino, Calif.; and Tamaqua, Pa; were announced last fall [see “Classic railroad stations to be honored …,” Trains News Wire, Oct. 31, 2022]. The stamps can be pre-ordered here. A total of 30 million of the stamps have been printed.

All five stations are listed on the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Register of Historic Places. The ceremony in Cincinnati will feature Daniel Tangherlini of the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors and Elizabeth Pierce, president and chief executive officer of the Cincinnati Museum Center.
