another first for Flexi-Van! In mid-May, with the St.
Lawrence Seaway only a few days old, Milwaukee Road
Flexi-Van became the first trailer-on-flatcar service of any
kind to take a load of import freight from dockside at Jones
Island in Milwaukee and deliver it to final destination. The
simplicity of the operation and the fast. overnight service
from the ship dock in Milwaukee to the consignee in St.
Paul, made newspaper stories in both cities.
