Train stamps from countries with no trains! (maybe they are jealous!) Tuvalu is a group of 9 small islands. The total area of ALL the islands is 10 square miles. It is 16 feet above sea level. Fishing is their main stay. There are no railroads.

Trolleys – Trams - Streetcars

- - and cable cars!

To Run a Railroad you will Need: Tracks

Signals, lights and special equipment

Passengers and Stations

Railroads also need: Finland had the right idea – besides showing trains past and present, they added: tickets, engineer, station clock, signs, a tourist attraction, and the conductor.
