Wow, thank you! Didn't realize that was "S" in the cancel. Funny as that is my initials "RSP".
For those of you interested in these type of French lozenge postmarks, here is a great reference website:

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?
