"Compartmentizer" is a movable bulkhead type loading device developed by Pullman-Standard in 1951 (MR forum), and Transportation Leasing Company is a subsidiary of the company. According to page 43 of the Railway Prototype Cyclopedia Vol.9, the prototype was built in 1960 and used to demonstrate the Compartmentizer for several months. This is the ninth year since the new release, and coincides with the appearance of competing products.

The model is one of the four PS-1 insulated boxcars released by AHM in 1964-1965. The right list is an AHM ad for MR magazine, where this product first appears, part of the Jan. 1965 issue, pp. 14-15 (bottom).
