Dating myself because it doesn't seem that long ago (narrator: it is) but in 1992, Amtrak was still running Train 12, the Fast Mail, from Washington to Boston. There was a Springfield MA section (#412) that dropped at New Haven. Oddly, its partner, #13, only ran Boston to Springfield. Storage mail - none of these trains had RPOs - must have gone on regular trains as well.
