TRANSIT POSTMARK COLLECTOR Volume 55, No. 4

Bruce Corey continues his series on the Collection & Distribution Wagons, this time New York, NY is the subject. Details of markings and known covers are presented. Last month's HPO column, by Will Keller, was devoted to the Albany (GA) & Panama City (Fla) HPO. This time, another Central of Georgia RR operation is the subject. Schedules of the Atlanta & Albany HPO and its RPO predeces- sor, covers and a map, are shown. The RFD column, by Guy Purington, is devoted to modern RFDs.
