[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by detting 4884bigboy, Conrail and eSPee are fallen flags. Conrail was split between CSX and NS. And Southern Pacific was merged with the Union Pacific. It is nice how the UP retains part of the name of their merger partners, so the old corporate identity is somewhat retained. It took the UNION form Union Pacific and the PACIFIC form Southern Pacific to get the new name UNION PACIFIC.
