Museum unveils post office on rails

Associated Press

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — A new exhibit opening in a western Kentucky museum will appeal to those who are fascinated by trains and the history of mail service.

A restored 1921 Rail Post Office, known in postal lingo as an RPO, opens to the public Tuesday at the Historic Rail Park and Train Museum in Bowling Green.

The date coincides with the 150th anniversary of L&N passenger service between Louisville and Nashville.

According to a news release, volunteers have spent two restoring the RPO.
