Boyce railroad and postal history

[NW Mailing List]

Good morning:

The attached article illustrates how the RPO network operating within the background facilitated mail transportation and distribution. Only a small percentage of first class mail received RPO postmarks, but the majority of mail between the 1880s and 1940s traveled in whole or part via the RPO network.

Have a good Monday,

Frank
