This set of five stamps commemorates the history of the Malta Railway, which operated from 1883 to 1931. The designs depict various scenes from the railway's existence, including locomotives, stations like the Valletta terminus, and notable viaducts. The stamps were designed by Fabio Agius and issued by MaltaPost.
The Malta Railway was the island's only railway line, connecting the capital Valletta with the town of Mtarfa. It was a significant part of Malta's public transport infrastructure for nearly 50 years before being closed due to competition from buses.
