Hmmm ... I live in Morganton and I can't seem to figure this one out. I looked here and nothing seemed to fit. I guess it's possible that it wasn't actually sent from Morganton. The return address is pre-printed on the envelope, so it could have been actually mailed from somewhere else. I'll keep looking!

Cannot seem to find any towns along the obvious route that tie in with the visible letters.
However it is probably the name of the railway company and the following link may be able to help. https://www.eskimo.com/rkunz/
Though I think it is a membership site but they may oblige with some detail.
The following two sites may be of help.

I was thinking "Rural Post Office", not railroad. I think you may be right!
