Railway Post Office service began as the Topeka & Fort Scott RPO on February 10, 1887. From June 16, 1892 – January 14, 1893, the route was briefly extended as the Topeka & Coffeyville RPO before being restored to its previous Fort Scott end terminal. From July 25, 1904 – April 30, 1905 the run was extended as the Topeka & Carthage RPO before again being cut back to Fort Scott. The last run of the Topeka & Fort Scott RPO was May 19, 1934.
