Demand for Steel Cars in the Postal Service
The New York Sun reports postal clerks killed and injured on railroads while on duty, prompting calls to replace wooden mail cars with all steel or heavily reinforced cars. Government specs since 1894 and revisions in 1904 favor heavier steel builds, with railroads trialing steel cars. Clerks believe steel cars are safer, though a Texas derailment showed mixed outcomes. Public expectation may push for steel or steel reinforced designs in future rail mail service.
