Amsterdam_XXXThe sculpture at Metrostation Weesperplein honors the old “Weesperpoortstation” (1843–1939), the former railway station from which to depart to Utrecht and Arnhem. Carved in sandstone, this artwork was erected in 1941. Created by architect Piet Kramer in the ‘Amsterdamse School’ style, it displays three layered historical locomotives representing the railways’ evolution. 🚂🚃🚄 The first steam train between Amsterdam and Haarlem (sept. 20, 1839) drove at the speed of 30 km/h and was pulled by a locomotive called “De Arend”. In 1908, the country’s first electric train took off between Rotterdam Hofplein and Scheveningen Kurhaus. It was powered by a 10,000-volt AC system from a dedicated power plant. 🔋⚡️ The first diesel train followed in 1934, running from Amsterdam to Arnhem. 🚂💪 <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Amsterdam?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Amsterdam</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pietkramer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pietkramer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blackandwhite?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blackandwhite</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/electric?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electric</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/diesel?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#diesel</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetview?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetview</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/noir?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#noir</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/xxx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xxx</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mokum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mokum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/engine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#engine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/train?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#train</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/railway?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#railway</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/spoorwegen?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spoorwegen</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/weesperpoortstation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weesperpoortstation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/locomotive?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#locomotive</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/railway?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#railway</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/weesperplein?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#weesperplein</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/citylife?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#citylife</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/artwork?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artwork</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sculpture?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sculpture</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/trains?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trains</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amsterdamseschool?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amsterdamseschool</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/sandstone?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sandstone</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/history?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#history</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/evolution?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#evolution</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/zug?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zug</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tren?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tren</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/locomotiv?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#locomotiv</a>

Amsterdam_XXXArtist Steffen Maas made a mosaic portrait of the legendary Nelson Mandela at the corner of Krugerplein and Pretoriusstraat (also called “De Krugerkop”). 🇿🇦🙌 The mosaic was constructed from hundreds of wooden shields with South African patterns in 2014. It emerged from the collaboration between residents from the Transvaal buurt, among others. The mosaic was intended to confirm or emphasize the neighborhood's connection with South Africa. 🤝 <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amsterdam?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amsterdam</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amandla?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amandla</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Mandela?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mandela</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/art?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#art</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/urbanart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#urbanart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/xxx?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xxx</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mokum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mokum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/steffenmaas?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#steffenmaas</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mosaic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosaic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nelsonmandela?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nelsonmandela</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/pretoriusstraat?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pretoriusstraat</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/transvaalbuurt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transvaalbuurt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mosaik?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosaik</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mosaique?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mosaique</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/southafrica?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#southafrica</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/inspirator?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inspirator</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/nohate?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nohate</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetphotography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetphotography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/equality?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#equality</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/photography?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#photography</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/streetart?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#streetart</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/freedomfighter?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#freedomfighter</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/artwork?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#artwork</a> (partial source for text: Wikipedia)
