No source, these are the films that I have seen in four decades of working in the industry. Trying to determine if there are any more titles that people know about. |

I should add one more to this list:THE EMD RAILWAY TYPE DIESEL ENGINE (1935)This film has a lot of the characteristics and story line of THE ABC OF THE DIESEL ENGINE but is a much earlier production.If you know of any other EMD film titles, please add to the list! |

I am not aware that EMD has ever granted rights to reproduce them, so it is pretty much a matter of luck as to where you encounter an original EMD issued print. Perhaps some of the other participants in the forum may know if any copies have ever been made available. |

If you can provide more detail on the titles, I can try to find them through interlibrary loan at the university. We have excellent facilities. You would be amazed at the things I can get.Information I would need is: title, year, distributor, etc.If it were available, likely it would appear at the library with a week's notice and I would have to return it very quickly, especially film. It might even be limited to viewing in the library. The retrieval time could be months for rare items.I am at the University of Cincinnati system. |
