Description
The Decauville Railcar is in the spotlight here, shown crossing the country's arid landscapes, illustrating the robustness of the machines in the face of the geographical challenges of the territory. This stamp underlines the strategic importance of the railway network for the exploitation of resources, notably phosphate, and the transport of passengers towards the interior. The message conveyed is that of an industrious and connected Tunisia, where rail has served as the backbone of national development, connecting the ports of the coast to the mining and agricultural wealth of the hinterland.
