| Publisher Description: Express, Mail & Merchandise Service describes rail express service and merchandise traffic on railroads from the early 1900s through 1960s when railroad personnel handled packages and merchandise - everything from baby chicks and cornflakes to money and machinery - and got them to their final destination. A wonderful historical reference for modelers and railfans alike. |
