Colombia railway stamp


Issued in 1974 to mark the centennial of the beginning of construction on the Ferrocarril de Antioquia or Antioquia Railway which traversed very difficult terrain in Colombia, and whose inauguration was in 1929. With the various woes the country suffered in the following decades, it was eventually given Steven Joyce style treatment in 1961.

what remains of such scenes today (amaga-antioquia.gov.co)
