Quick Clips: Frisco Fast Mail - On the Fly Mail Pickup Demonstration w/ Frisco 1630

8/1/2021 - As part of Illinois Railway Museum's Vintage Transportation Extravaganza event, the CB&Q Railway Post Office was added to the coach train so 'on the fly' mail pick-ups and drop-offs could be demonstrated with the car's mail catcher. Pulling the coach train for this operation was none other than the crown jewel of the museum, SLSF 2-10-0 "Decapod" no. 1630. Due to scheduling issues, this would be the second of only two demos with the steam engine leading today, so despite only capturing it with a phone I'm glad I was able to capture such a neat op!

Frisco 1630 was wearing a rarely-heard Milwaukee Road 6-Chime whistle today.
