mail car
Railway letter compartment
A mail car is a railroad car designed for sorting and transporting mail.
Before air travel dominated postal delivery, trains carried most long-distance mail, with postal workers sorting letters en route.
The term is largely historical: The museum restored an 1890s mail car.
