RAILWAY POST OFFICES
In the 1830’s, shortly after the establishment of the first railroad in the U.S., the Post Office Department began to ship mail by rail.
The year 1838 saw some sorting of mail between Washington and Philadelphia, but the first Railway Post Office car is generally thought to have run in Missouri in 1862. Seven years later the Railway Mail Service was established, and RPO service began a great expansion. The peak came in 1915, when 20,000 clerks worked on nearly 4000 cars traveling over 216,000 miles of route. By 1951, the network was still robust (30,000 clerks, 3200 cars, 165,000 miles – handling 93% of all non-local mail), but highway and air competition were taking their toll.
Letters cancelled on an RPO bore a stamp indicating the route’s endpoints (not always the same as the train in which the car traveled), the number, the date, and “R.P.O.” Routes ranged in length from a few miles to over 1100 miles.
