Wow, thank you! Didn't realize that was "S" in the cancel. Funny as that is my initials "RSP".

Came across this French stamp with a Diamond Lozenge cancel with the letters "RP" inside instead of a number. Normally the number represents the town of the postmark. After googling for some time, I believe this may be a Train cancel as I am seeing train cancels with letters in them but there does not seem to be a definitive list of all postmarks. Does anyone happen to know what the "RP" in this postmark represents?
