Hello all!

I suddenly realized there isn't a thread for not-necessarily RPO-cancelled railroad-related covers here!

Business mail, special events, freight notices... show us RAILROAD MAIL!

(I happen to have one in the scanner, which is what made me think of this topic!)

Here's a few railroad covers I have acquired not long ago. Some still have RPO postmarks, but most from railway companies or other related organizations.

Here is an anniversary cover commemorating one year's operation of Great Northern Empire Builder trains running from Chicago to the west coast via St. Paul-Minneapolis. It is of philatelic origin.

The "Nickel Plate Road"?

Battlestamps' last cover gave me a minor case of whiplash ...

... but yes, Viriginia, there is a Nickel Plate Road.

Who knew?

Cheers,
