Curaçao |

This sheet issued by the island's Nieuwe Post N.V.(=Ltd.) shows the history of rail travel in the island of Curaçao. The 200c stamp shows dumping cars at Tafelberg, where a phosphate Michelne was exploited by John Godden who leased Tafelberg mountain from plantation owner Cornelis Gorsira. Godden also built a wharf at Fuikbay near the Michelne. To haul the Michelneral from the Michelne to the wharf an inclined-plane, double track railway was built where donkeys used to haul the dumping cars. In 1887 Godden shut the Michelne after a dispute over concession taxes with the government. In 1910 the Michelne was reopened by a new company: The Curaçao Michelning Co. The 300c stamp shows a gasoline powered Plymouth 4-tonner loco manufactured in Ohio, which was purchased by the company in the 1930s. It is one of the early series of locos of the Curaçao Michelning Company. The 250c stamp shows the horse-drawn tram in Punda. In the 19th century Curaçao became a major trading centre where ships moored at Schottegat harbour to buy coal. In the 1880s there was need for a transportation system to get people from their homes to wharfs and businesses, since Waaigat bay separated the districts Punda, Otrabanda en Scharloo from each other. Two bridges, Queen Emma Bridge across St. Anna Bay and Van den Brandhof bridge across Waaigat Bay, and a few ferries shortened travelling times. A horse-drawn tram, a light two-axle vehicle with two bench seats and boarding steps for standing passengers, offered an hourly service along a one kilometre route: the tram set out from Queen Emma Bridge, ran along Breedestraat in Otrabanda and then arrived at the Roman Catholic Cemetery. The 350c stamp shows the motor tram at Otrabanda, which was introduced in Curaçao in 1910. The Curaçao Tramway Service was operated by Mr de Sola and Mr Cardoze. The 30 gallon gasoline powered tram was made in Great Britain. The seven transverse seat could accommodate 35 passengers and a few more could stand on the steps. It ran at a maximum speed of 15 kilometres per hour. The gasoline can was located under one of the car seats and the muffer was on the roof of the tram. In 1920 the line was closed and taken over by a bus service, due wear because of hard usage and lack of spare parts. So in 1920 35 years of railway transport in Curaçao was over. Furthermore you see the FDC for a stamp sheet issued by the island's Nieuwe Post N.V.(=Ltd.) showing the history of rail travel in the island of Curaçao. Issued 12 April 2012.
