Missing Mail Boxcar Arrives Two Years Late
A boxcar loaded with parcel post packages intended for Birmingham was found on a Maryland siding, two years after departure from Philadelphia. The USPS and Penn Central blame each other for the mix up as 319 sacks and other parcels were identified, with many stamped delayed due to circumstances beyond the central U.S. Postal Service. The car had been routed via Washington firms and transferred between boxcars before arriving in Birmingham.
