Express, Mail & Merchandise Services

Shows how process engineering and hard working employees can accomplish amazing things. Amazon, FedEx, and UPS have rebuilt what Sears, Parcel Post, railroads, and Railway Express Agency had decades ago.

The books arrived in perfect condition and on time.

Excellent book for anyone that is interested in the history in merchandising service is a must read book

Well done. Great reference and an easy read. I learned quite a bit about different express and merchandise service. This is a general history book and not specific just for modeling. Anyone with an interest in railroads or trucking should enjoy the book.

This gives a solid overview of these specialized rail freight services. All railroad modelers with a pre-1960 focus should have this in their library.

Worth the Purchase

This is a very good reference book for model railroading. Recommend adding to your collection for realistic operations and head end equipment mail processing.

Very informative. Good text and many helpful photos. Highly recommend to those interested in modeling these operations on their model railroad.

A wealth of information for anyone interested in Express or LCL operations, historian, modeler or otherwise. Little disappointed in the Canadian content only being one page, because CNR and CPR did have a lot more than is offered.

Another excellent book by Jeff Wilson in his easy to read yet informative style.

Good coverage of the use of REA and others
