Last RPO run (I have the cancellation) was in 1977...Washington to New York.
LTL, LCL and REA were all gone by the time CR arrived.
RIDEWITHMEHENRY is the name for our almost monthly day of riding trains and transit in either the NYCity or Philadelphia areas including all commuter lines, Amtrak, subways, light rail and trolleys, bus and ferries when warranted. No fees, just let us know you want to join the ride and pay your fares. Ask to be on our email list or find us on FB as RIDEWITHMEHENRY (all caps) to get descriptions of each outing.
I dont see much evidnce that Conrail handled LTL,LCL or Railway Express Agency traffic. Like most of the terminals are gone as well as loading unloading platforms.
