Title:
DW&P RDC3 D-301
Description:
Duluth Winnipeg & Pacific RDC3 D-301 at Duluth, Minnesota on an unknown day in June 1958, photographer unknown, Chuck Zeiler collection. Number D-301 was built in 1956 (c/n 6602), becoming CN D-355 in October 1961. I will point out that it has a Railway Post Office (RPO) section, and to the left of the sign between the two baggage doors on the side is a small slot. One could put mail in that door, and it would be processed by the Post Office just like it was dropped in a mailbox. As a teen, I would drop a postcard into that slot (which was also on all RPO cars in the US) addressed to myself. The stamp would be cancelled by someone on the RPO, and that cancellation mark would have the train number recorded.
