Design of a Railway Mail Car
This specialized mail train car includes wide sliding side doors, small upper windows, and sturdy rail wheel assemblies. Postal cars formed a vital part of fast express passenger trains for generations.
Moving Mail Across the Country by Train
Railway post office cars allowed postal clerks to sort letters and packages directly on board while traveling between major cities. Specialized mechanical arms could even catch mailbags hung from roadside cranes without stopping the moving train.
