Overnight Mail Car
Interior of an old mail carriage that was a mobile sorting office on overnight trains. This one is in retirement at the National Railway Museum in York, England. It was fitted with a collection scoop system, enabling pickup of mail bags whilst travelling. Can imagine it would wake up any bleary-eyed postal staff as the bags thudded into the scoop! Converted to mono and then split toned in LR.
