Troja Railway Registered Label

Registered cover dated Aug. 21, 1939 from Troja to Spanish Town bearing a registered Troja railway label. Properly franked on reverse, which also shows routing through Richmond and St. Ann's Bay, and arrival in Spanish Town the following day. Cover was posted at the Troja Railway Station as evidenced by the registered label and was passed on to the Troja post office as evidenced by the Troja postmark. Although the distance from Troja to Spanish Town along the railway is only 19 miles, the letter had to be fed into the normal mail system because the railway did not have a means of securing registered mail. The only known example of a railway registered letter.
