Best Friend of Charleston and TGV PSE stamp, Laos


The Best Friend of Charleston is acclaimed as the first steam locomotive built entirely within the USA, by the West Point Foundry in NY in 1830.  A replica is now outside the Norfolk Southern headquarters - website

The TGV Paris Sud-Est was considered at the time of its introduction in the early 1980s to be the world's most advanced passenger train, but still is a long way from being an antique!
