Description
Before trucks and planes, America's mail moved on trains that never stopped. Railway clerks would snatch mail bags at 50 mph using a mechanical arm, exchanging thousands of letters without slowing down. This remarkable system connected remote towns across the nation from 1867 to 1977, representing one of the most ingenious logistics innovations of the industrial age.
