Technically, RPO clerks working on the D&RGW narrow gauge were employees of the United States Post Office, which was then a cabinet agency in the federal administration. The USPO was reorganized as a quasi-independent agency (sort of like Amtrak) as the United States Postal Service in 1971. The last RPO route was the New York - Washington RPO, which lasted into the USPS age, making its final run in 1977.
