As a member of the TPO Group at the Didcot Railway Centre in the UK, it's gtreat to see how it was done in the US. Did the US Mail used to drop any sacks off on the fly as well?
@blindpugh12 Yes, they did. They literally just threw them out the door as they passed the station platform; there were fairly frequent occasions when bags broke and the station clerks would have to collect the mail from all over the station area!
That's a lot of energy just to demo the device. Still nice to see; 67 wasn't that long ago.
