It seems that more than one person is not quite up to date. Conrail has been gone for quite a while now (about 5 years). The reason it is gone is because, as you said, it was doing very well. This made it very attractive to possible purchasers. Norfolk Southern and CSX had a bidding war to buy it and had to call a truce, and split Conrail up between them. Of course there are still engines around, as someone else mentioned. Many railroads leave the old paint jobs and often the numbers too. It does become confusing when NS changes the numbers to their own numbers, but leaves the paint scheme, because CSX could have an old Conrail engine that has the same number and paint scheme. <br />Conrail does exist in the Newark area, it is meant to hold control over NS-CSX joint ownership places (places where they couldn't decide who got it and both got it). <br />In conclusion Conrail has been gone for a few years, and I am a little surprised that after all this time you wouldn't know about Conrail being purchased by NS and CSX. Maybe you don't actually go out and ride trains back and forth across the U.S. and Canada as often as I do. If you don't, think about trying it some time... It is pretty fun!!![:)][:)]
