Any USPS drop boxes in Amtrak stations?

[AC4400]

I'm wondering if there are USPS drop boxes in Amtrak stations, especially for the smoking stops on Empire Builder. I'd like to send a postcard en route.

I'm not sure about the EB, but almost every staffed station (and several non-staffed stations with actual buildings) have USPS boxes in close proximity.

MSP has a blue box out front. MKE has a whole post office next door if you are fast, although at that point you might as well wait until Chicago.

Minot, Shelby and Havre also have mail boxes.

Spokane also appears to have one out front per Google streetview, the guy in the white t-shirt is in the way. Why yes I am bored and stuck at work...

edit for spelling

There is a mailbox at the station in Whitefish, Montana.

Last week when I rode the EB, I noticed a mailbox on the Havre platform, to the left as you're facing the station from trainside. When I was at the Seattle station, I had to walk about a block and a half to find a mailbox up near a Starbucks. If there was a mailbox in the station or right out front, I managed to miss it.

Speaking of postcards, I wish Amtrak would sell route-specific postcards. I usually end up buying two or three sets just so I can send cards featuring the train I'm riding.

Yes, in front of SPK

I took the CS in summer 2008 and got baggage tags from Los Angeles with nice route scenery. There were EB, CS, CZ, SC, etc. I don't know if Amtrak still has such tags or not.

Thanks. I'll try that.

I know that Harve, MT station has a steam loco on the platform. Is there a gift shop nearby?
