Romanian postage stamp showing the Anghel Saligny Bridge

The Anghel Saligny Bridge, originally built in the 1890s to cross the Danube and Borcea branch of the Danube and known as the King Carol I Bridge, was depicted on a Romanian postage stamp in 1972. The bridge was opened in 1895 with a convoy of 15 whistling locomotives crossing it at 60 km/h (37 mph), followed by a train reserved for 'guests', at 80 km/h (50 mph).
