Thanks for this comprehensive information. I have a
friend who was a bellboy at the St. Johnsbury House at
this time (as was I about five years later--oh, those
tour buses!). He tells of taking the mail down to the
depot when working until midnight and watching the
train come through. I wanted to give him some info.
His recollection is that the train didn't stop, but
picked up the sack on the fly. Would this have been
possible sometimes?
Thanks for your help. Dan

1955?...I would take
