Soviet postcard of South Africa's blue Train, 1958


A little curious this one - is the date of 21 May 1958 a centenary of something significant in South Africa railway history?  In any event the first railway there - between Durban and Harbour Point, opened on 26 June 1860.  The locomotive stamp, however, is a Soviet one dated 1949.
