Stamp Santa Fe-Las Colonias Railway Telegraph it reflects the thematic directions:
Railways - Transportation system made up of metal rails which is designed to allow trains to maneuver on the tracks from one location to the next.
Telegraphy is the long-distance transmission of messages where the sender uses symbolic codes, known to the recipient, rather than a physical exchange of an object bearing the message. Thus flag semaphore is a method of telegraphy, whereas pigeon post is not. Ancient signalling systems, although sometimes quite extensive and sophisticated as in China, were generally not capable of transmitting arbitrary text messages. Possible messages were fixed and predetermined, so such systems are thus not true telegraphs.
