19th January 1933 - International Railway Congress, Cairo. Offset Lithography by the Survey Department, Cairo.  Usage valid until 18 April 1933.

In 1933 the Egyptian Railway Museum was inaugurated, and coincided with the International Railway Congress in Egypt. A collection of stamps and envelopes was issued on the first day of this occasion, which gained the world’s attention.

Preparation of the four-value set for the Railway Congress began well in advance, in February 1932. The decision to use pictures of historically representative locomotives was made in June and photographs of various locomotives of the Egyptian State Railways were gathered for use as the basis for design work. By this decision, the 5m displayed the narrow-gauge Engine No. 1, built in 1852 by Robert Stephenson & Co.. The 10m showed Engine No. 41 built in 1859 also by Stephenson, elaborately decorated for use on the special train for Khedive Said.  The 13m displayed Engine No. 68 built in 1862 by Neilson & Co., while the 15m showed Engine No. 787, an express passenger locomotive built by the North British Locomotive Co. in 1925
