Baghdad East
Railway station in the west
of the city of Baghdad, with lines up to
Baiji in the northern part of Iraq
and to Maqil in the south of
Iraq.
A joint road & rail bridge was opened across the River
Tigris in Baghdad
in October 1950 so finally connecting the east and west bank metre
gauge systems.
A complete booklet pane of 4 stamps with red background,
postmarked BAGHDAD EAST. Interesting that no Date Die is inserted in the
postmark.
