There are three railway-related banknotes in the above image, illustrated below in the following order:
1. At the top right of the scan, part of the central label of the sheetlet, is an image of a diesel train from an Algerian 10 dinar banknote, issued in 1983.
2. At the bottom left of the scan is the vignette of a steam locomotive, the central motif of a Chinese ' Bank of Communications ' 5 Yuan banknote,
issued at Shanghai in 1914.
3. Near the centre of the scan is a steam train depicted on a Chinese ' Bank of Communications ' 10 Yuan banknote, issued in 1941.

A larger portion of this 1941 banknote is shown again, twice ( or rather once and a half ! ), on the third stamp down on the right-hand side of the sheetlet. A detail from this stamp is shown below:

With 752 images to study under a magnifying glass, and only a limited familiarity with banknotes depicting trains, I would be unwilling to claim, with any confidence, that the railway interest in this sheetlet is limited to the details outlined above. Incidentally, for those of you who might be interested in trying to acquire them, the three banknotes illustrated above are quite common - and inexpensive.
