Catalog Of New Mexico Railway Postal Markings

Railroad postal markings for the major railroads that traversed New Mexico: the Southern Pacific, the Santa Fe, the Rock Island, the DRGW, and the El Paso & Northeastern. There were different markings for different sections of each railroad's lines and the book carefully explains them. There are also discussions of the RPO system and collecting, listing and valuing the markings. Because the book provides a short history of each section of each railroad and associated timetables, it would also be of use to anyone interested in the history of New Mexico's railroads. Illustrated with black and white photos. With timetables and maps. 80 pages with index.
