The January 1984 issue of Trains Magazine had an article about the Conrail business car fleet and E8A 4022 (ex-EL 833). 

Here are the E8's: http://crcyc.railfan.net/locos/emd/e8/e8.html

And here is the rest of the fleet:  http://www.trainweb.org/conrail/cr/ocs.htm

Remember, folks, all of the above information can be found through your favorite search engine.  In this case, I went to google.com and entered 'conrail business cars'.

Does anyone know what the passenger cars were in the Conrail business train? The locos where E-8's , I think.

Several former NYC Heavyweight business cars, a former CN dining car rebuilt to a theater car, several former NYC Budd 56 seat chair cars, a former ATSF 550 class Dome Dormitory Lounge car, a box car converted to a power car. I would recomment the Shorham Shops NYC 56 seat Chair car and the Overland Models Dome in Conrail colors.
