A Travelling Post Office (TPO) is a postal receiving, sorting and delivery service situated on a train, usually in a specially designated carriage that is part of a passenger train. In Queensland the service was provided from 1877 to 1932. ==History== The first TPO service in Queensland commenced in 1877 utilising the second class compartments of two composite passenger carriages on the daily Brisbane to Dalby train. A goods van was used on the Toowoomba to Warwick train in the same year, until special 4 wheel carriages were built later that year for the service.〔Kerr, J. 'Triumph of Narrow Gauge' Boolarong Publications 1990〕 The service was extended to Roma and ultimately Charleville as the Western line was extended, and similarly on the Southern line to Stanthorpe, and then Wallangarra.
