Description: I was fortunate enough to work at EMD when they were retiring folks early and tearing down the main factory. This brochure came from a retiree who saved EVERYTHING. He had tons of stuff, much of which I'm just starting to go through after 25 years. Most everything he had was brand new stored in file folders. In some cases he had multiples, in others, just one copy. This late 1940's 1950's booklet proposes a way to coordinate rail and highway transportation utilizing a newly developed EMD open transport rail car. They go on to describe how to layout a freight car yard as well as a proposed truck trailer loading/unloading fork lift. Very interesting proposal that I don't think becoming much of a reality. Rare glimpse into how aggressive EMD was back in this time period in an effort to dominate all aspects of cargo transport. This booklet is brand new. 23 pages on a light grade cardboard.
