The Northeast was hit the hardest but they were ripping up double track all over the country. The problem with the Northeast, and please anyone, (correct me if I am wrong) was Conrail itself. Conrail was formed from bankurpt Penn Central, New York central and Eire Lackawana. I believe all the managers for Conrail came from those three railroads so there was a lot of in house fighting on which track should be kept from Chicago to New York. Eire Lackawana had very good main line double track. There main line track's were sepperated by at least 15 ft. in some places.Trouble is Eire had a lot of enemies from PC and NYC making decisions. They decided to wipe out all traces of Eire Lackawana (Rumor had it the employe's were not even allowed to use the name Eire Lackawana in conversation.) So that track got ripped up first. I bet CXS and NS would love to have that track now. <br /> TIM A
