I disagree with the idea that Conrail gobbled up other raillines. Conrail did not buy the other lines. Conrail was created FROM those lines that were loosing their shirts. Industry was leaving the northeast and business was hurting because of it. Conrail was created to try to stop loosing railroads and railroad jobs. They shed parts of those lines and began making money. In my opinion Conrail was the one railroad that should not have failed. Their management seemed to be on the ball. As far as I know employee moral was good. They began purchasing new equipment. Conrail was a model railroad (pardon the pun). <br /> <br />This is one railfan that was and still is unhappy to see Conrail split between two other roads. Like I said before, sometimes you don't appreciate something until it is gone. Sometimes you don't know what you have until you loose it. <br /> <br />It is too bad that Conrail and SP couldn't have become ConSouthern. [;)]
