I miss conrail too!! That date slipped past me. Now im just wondering any info on operations and the condition fo conrail in 1999. Also, when did Conrail engines start getting patched. Did they receive their patched before the split up was complete?
In the first video at 1:55 the narrator says January 2, 1999.
By "Merger" do you mean the transfer of assets to CSX and NS on June 1, 1999?
What is your specific question? Conrail was in pretty good shape compared to what they started with in 1976! You can find Annual Reports that contain financial statements if you are looking for answers to how "solvent" Consolidated Rail Corp. was.

After watching the Conrail Winter Series on youtube, I was wondering what year the winter that big was in, as I plan to model it? I read in the description "Conrails Laast Winter" so i assume its in 1998. Now, back on track, if it is 1998, anyone got any more info than google has on conrails loco and track condition, or anything else in 1998 (or whatever year the video was shot in)?
Thanks!!
