1956: 50th Anniversary of the Opening of the Simplon Tunnel

Several things are wrong about this stamp. When opened there was just one tunnel; when there were two the train would have entered rather than left the left tunnel; no steam trains ever used the tunnel; the coach is not of the type that used the Simplon Pass.
