Postcard – Smaranda Brăescu Locomotive, Bucharest
Photo by Anda Constantinescu, 2025
This postcard captures a unique meeting point of history and modernity: the striking “Smaranda Brăescu” locomotive photographed at Bucharest North Railway Station. Wrapped in vivid colors and dedicated to Romania’s first female aviator, world-record parachutist, and fearless pioneer of the skies, the locomotive symbolizes both national pride and technological progress.
Smaranda Brăescu, known as the “Queen of the Heights,” broke barriers in the 1930s with her record-setting flights and parachute jumps. Today, her legacy is carried forward on the rails, as this modernized electric locomotive powers across the country, linking past achievements with future journeys.
A memorable keepsake, this postcard is perfect for travelers, collectors, and anyone who wants to carry home a reminder of Romania’s bold spirit and its heroes who dared to dream beyond limits.
