Burlington mail car model

This model is an example of a car with a thirty-foot Railway Post Office (RPO) apartment on the Burlington Railroad. The distribution cases inside were arranged in a 'U' fashion across the bulkhead between the Railway Express Agency and RPO sections. There was a small creep door under the distribution table below the distribution cases that allowed emergency passage between the two sections. It was secured from the RPO-side of the opening.
