Railway Train at Gheriexem Bridge, Rabat
In 1900, the railway line was extended via a half-mile tunnel beneath Mdina, to the Museum Station located below the Roman Villa heritage site. The tunnel emerged from under the bastions overlooking Gheriexem Valley. An imposing bridge and embankment were raised to cater for the new line extension that proceeded for a further 300 metres in the direction of the military barracks at Mtarfa. The 38c stamp depicts the train on Gbridge awaiting its return trip to Valletta.
