RM2G71GY2–An old engraving of a British railway travelling post office carriage of the Victorian era. It is from a book of the 1890s on discoveries and inventions during the 1800s. A ‘Travelling Post Office’ (TPO) was a type of mail train used in Great Britain and Ireland where the post was sorted during the journey. Innovations were developed, such as the development of lineside pole and hook apparatus for picking up and setting down mailbags while travelling at speed. Here the netting device, projected out to capture lineside mailbags, is seen right.
