Highway Post Office Bus at Strasburg, Virginia

from Smithsonian Institution

• Lynchburg Virginia said:

  I became fantasized by this picture of the first Mail by Highway bus picture found in the Smithsonian Institution photo stream. I had previously taken a picture of a Post Office Highway bus at the Roanoke Transportation Museum ( www.flickr.com/photos/lynchburgvirginia/2403169609/in/set... ) which added to my interest. My colorized interpretation is below.
