The WATERTOWN EXPRESS and the "Hog and Human": M & StL Passenger Service in South Dakota 1884-1960 DONOVAN L. HOFSOMMER In mid-July of 1960 editors of the Minneapolis Tribune found much on the regional scene that they judged to be newsworthy: Minnesotans were heavily engaged in political debate anticipating the general elections of the coming fall; the Hill Lines were rebuffed in their attempts to consummate a huge railroad merger: the speeding AFTERNOON HIAWATHA was derailed near Saint Paul, resulting in injury to several persons; Minneapolitans were enjoying the annual Aquatennial Celebration; and it was hot. One important event was overlooked by the Minneapolis journalists, however. On 21 July passenger service by the Minneapolis & Saint Louis Railway between Minneapolis and Watertown, South Dakota, ended forever. At 10:30 P. M. on 20 July train number thirteen quietly slipped out of the trainsheds at the Great Northern depot in Minneapolis for the last time; its counterpart number fourteen had made its final departure from Watertown an hour and one-half earlier. Without hoopla and almost without notice, a seventy-six year tradition of service ended when these two trains reached their respective terminals in the misty morning hours of 21 July.' 1.

  • The Story of the US Postal Service
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 281 820 SO 018 202 TITLE We Deliver: The Story of the U.S. Postal Service. INSTITUTION Postal Service, Washington, DC. PUB DATE 80 NOTE 25p.; Illustrations will not reproduce clearly. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Government Employees; Government Role; *Public Agencies;_ United States History IDENTIFIERS *PoStal Service ABSTRACT This eight-chapter illustrated booklet chronicles the history of the U.S. Post Office from its establishment by the Continental Congress in 1775 to the present. Chapter 1, "The Colonists," describes the postal service before the Revolutionary War. Benjamin Franklin's appointment as the first Postmaster General of the U.S. and his many contributions to the postal serviceare covered in Chapter 2, "Father of the U.S. Postal Service." Chapter 3, "The Revolution and After," portrays the huge increase that occurred in the U.S. population from the time of Andrew Jackson to the Civil War, the resulting huge increase in mail volume that occurred, and the actions the postal system took to overcome the problems. In Chapter 4, "The Pony Express," the 18-month life span of the pony express is chronicled as are the reasons for its demise. Two Postmaster Generals, Montgomery Blair and John Wanamaker, are portrayed in Chapter 5, "Two Postal Titans." These two men provided leadership which resulted in improved employee attitudes and new services to customers, such as free rural delivery and pneumatic tubes. Chapter 6, "Postal Stamps," tells the history of the postage stamp, and how a stamp is developed. Chapter 7, "Moving the Mail," presents a history of the mail service and the different modes of transportation on which it depends.

  • Railway Post Offices Postmarks Used in Southern Manitoba Robert K. Lane
    Railway Post Offices Postmarks Used in Southern Manitoba a postal history exhibit by Robert K. Lane Railway Post Offices Postmarks Used in Southern Manitoba In 1881, the Post Office began operating Railway Post Office (RPO) cars in Manitoba. In all, until the early 1970s, 48 different (RPO) listings and 116 hammers were used in the region south of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) main line in Manitoba. RPOs on the CPR main line are exhibited separately, as are the RPOs used north of the CPR main line in Manitoba. This exhibit provides examples of all 48 listings, within the context of their historical development. Basic data for all 116 hammers is also included. The examples are presented by railway company, then by “lines”, which are ordered chronologically. This is possible because the post office did not shift any of the specific hammers from one railway company to another. The two railway companies were the Canadian Pacific Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway (later, Canadian National Railway) and their predecessors. The exhibit is presented as follows: Canadian Pacific Railway: The Pembina Line - from 1881 The Deloraine Line – from 1885 The Glenboro Line – from 1888 The Estevan Line – from 1892 The Gretna Line – from 1892 Canadian Northern Railway/Canadian National Railway: Winnipeg-Brandon Line (Winnipeg-Regina Line) – from 1892 Winnipeg-Virden Line – from 1907 Winnipeg- Emerson and Winnipeg-Pembina Lines – from 1915 The Ontario Connection: Ft. Frances Line (from 1907) and the CNR main line (from1938) Items of special interest and high rarity factors are highlighted in red. Although rates are described, illustrating one of several collecting interests that can be studies in the covers and cards of RPO collections, the main focus is on the history of the RPOs.
