Garr - ummmm, not sure about the Amtrak/Conrail birth dates, I was just going on what was told to me by the employees I worked under when I was hired in 1979 with Amtrak. These guys were the former PRR, Penn Central, then Amtrak employees, and, about how they were then approached to join Amtrak or remain Conrail because Congress then still wanted a passenger service. One history note, when Eastern airlines was still around, they were the #1 carrier of passengers from Wash. DC to New York. Amtrak took that #1 spot away from the airline and this was before Eastern had ended its operations.
