History
The first French barge built especially for transport goes back to 1885. It is a mail van with three axles ordered by the PLM (line the Paris-Lyon-Mediterranean). If the first barges hardly included/understood interior installations, the bags of mail being simply piled up, most recent on the other hand were equipped with Conteneur.
If the barges disappeared from the postal landscape, because of the competition of the Aviation and the Airmail, their descendants always function in 2007 pennies the form of postal TGV.
To note finally that according to the times, of the mixed coaches, semi-peddler semi-reduces, also existed by transformation of the mail vans of origin.
