I have never heard of this book. I tried to do a Google search but nothing came up. It sounds like something that would be nice to have. Does it list the actual train consists, etc.? Does anyone know how to possibly get a copy? Also, while I model 1965 to 1970, since Wikipedia says it was September 1967 that the POD cancelled all "mail by rail" contracts, would these foreign cars potentially have continued in this service until 1967? It would be great if there was a similar book to the one Leo mentions for 1965 to whenever. Tom Mack Cincinnati, OH

These trains were a mixture of regularly scheduled, extra sections, extras, and even a couple "berry specials". As mentioned in another response many of the mail trains had the converted troop sleepers. Leo Phillipp On Sep 24, 2017, at 1:52 AM, Kenneth Martin kmartin537@... [CBQ] <CBQ@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
