4018 not 4013, just a hair newer than my favorite.
This is an awesome post.
It’s really neat to get the details of each photo too.
Great job, CederQ.
That last shot is a baggage-mail combine and the mail hook is obviously on the RPO (Railway Post Office) section, populated by armed Postal employees. The US Postal Service took their job seriously.
