Protests Over Northern Pacific Mail Service Cuts
The Montana Railroad Commission protests the elimination of RPO mail service on Northern Pacific trains 1 2 25 26 and Great Northern trains 27 28 31 32. It argues rail passenger service depends on mail that cannot be replaced by other transport during bad weather and notes recent air service problems to warn against substituting mail handling with cheaper options. The commission urges continued rail linked mail service and references delayed and unreliable postal service.
