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. Everything he had was brand new stored in file folders. In some cases he had multiples, in others, just one copy. This 1950's brochure features GM's "Portager", a way to coordinate rail and highway transportation utilizing a newly developed EMD open transport rail car. They describe how simple and fast it is to use their system for loading/unloading truck trailers using their fork lift and rail cars. Very interesting proposal that I don't think became 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. Never seen one of these before. 4 printed pages Will send USPS
