17th September 2022: Cover from Austria with Card about Arnold Schwarzenegger

The souvenir sheet celebrates the 150th anniversary of the railway between Feldkirch in Austria via Schaan in Liechtenstein to Buchs in Switzerland. It is the only railway line in Liechtenstein. This sheet is a joint issue with Liechtenstein and Switzerland.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was born in Austria in 1947 and became known as bodybuilder. After his active years I went to Hollywood, where he played roles in various action movies. His best known works include Conan the Barbarian, The Terminator, Running Man, Predator and Total Recall. Between 2003 and 2011 he was Governor of California.

A special postmark about his 75th birthday from his home town was used on the card.

Graz Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station of Styria's capital. In 2003 and 2004 it was voted as Austria's most beautiful railway station and it is also the busiest in Austria outside of Vienna. As soon as the Koralm Railway will be finished, the importance of the railway station increases even more, as then all railway transport to Italy will pass through Graz.
