Micro-Trains

This 60’ railway post office car is painted Pullman Green with gold lettering. It was built in 1927 by the Pullman Car & Manufacturing Company and runs on passenger trucks. These came equipped with electric lighting and screened fans, a manual-control steam heat system, mail sorting counters that can be raised and hooked up, overhead bins; letter- sorting pigeonhole boxes with rotating name “headers”, a safe, and catcher arms outside one door on each side. These were swung out to grab mail pouches suspended from trackside mail cranes without stopping the train, and then swung into the car for pouch removal.
