If you are interested in the operation of the Fast Mail and the battle between the Burlington and the C&NW for the lucrative Chicago-Omaha mail contract, there is an article on the subject in McClure’s Magazine April 1899

http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=umn.31951001906754x#view=1up;seq=493

 

As well as the reporter’s description of the trip, there are some line drawings showing the operation of the RPO.
