"The stamp emphasizes the development of transportation in the desert region of southern Israel. It combines a depiction of a camel -- once the only form of transportation through the arid land -- with a train that crosses the rapidly inhabited and cultivated region. The tab shows the symbol of Israel's train authority, Rakevet Israel." (Israel Philatelic Foundation)
