On August 26, 1999, the US Postal Service issued the 33-cent “All Aboard! 20th Century Trains” commemorative stamps in Cleveland, Ohio. Designed by Howard Paine and illustrated by Ted Rose, the stamps celebrate five iconic passenger trains from the 1930s and 1940s: the Daylight, Congressional, 20th Century Limited, Hiawatha, and Super Chief. Each stamp features a watercolor painting of the train with a landscape background, while the back includes unique train descriptions. The stamps embody the Art Deco style and luxury, highlighting the railroads’ competition with cars and airplanes.
