The breakup of Conrail between NS and CSX
Posted by NP Eddie on Tuesday, January 13, 2015 10:14 AM

ALL:

I remember a "Trains" article about the breakup of Conrail between NS and CSX, but cannot find it in the 1940-2010 DVD. Can anyone help me?

For a really good telling of the story try and find a copy of Rush Loving's "The Men Who Loved Trains."

"The Fight for Conrail", page 30 of the July 2006 issue by Rush Loving Jr. was adapted from "The Men Who Love Trains".
