  • That Mail Crane looks pretty tricky to me!!

  • Plus IRM just did a demostration on how the Hock Catching device worked since our RPO car is operationable. Plus its on a video on youtube so you can see how it really works. =D

  • Nice RPO car. We also have an RPO car at our museum at IRM. I think it was a Grand Trunk Western or Santa Fe RPO. =)

  • Dear John:

    Your video on Car # 60 was especially interesting for me to view. My dad was a Railway Mail Clerk, and the video brought back a lot of fond memories, especially the Practice Sorting cases for the Clerks to learn their routes. I will always remember dad practicing his routes either at home or on the beach during the summer when his every other week being off was so wonderful for our family. Thanks very much for producing such a wonderful video. Artie Carucci Jr.

  • Very interesting look into the RPO car.

    Glenn.
