CSX-DAN. That line was conrail until LA&L took it from conrail.

I have seen conrail coal trains. Some of there axle counts on the dectors would turn your head around and say WHAT. One conrail coal train on the dector would say: conrail coldwater New York track 3 no defects toltall axle count 10-6 99999995 train speed 70mph over. Which i did see that train & that was the longest train that i have seen.

Before the mergers. Did conrail EVER wanted to take over CSX or NS????

Conrail wanted the Cotton Belt portion of the SP before the split. Conrail and CSX's agreement to merger is what started the split going.

On Buffalo to Syracuse chicago main line was there ever 6 tracks????

In NYC days, there were 6 tracks. 4 on the mainline and 2 on the West Shore. I beleive that most of the West Shore west of Albany was gone before Conrail.

Just a few miles from my present home there is an ex-Conrail (i am pretty sure) line that used to run about 100 feet from my old house. CSX runs a local on it now but I still see some big blue run the local job. It serves a paper warehouse and Hainesport Industrial park. I think it runs everyday during the week but Im not sure.

What was the the longest coal or mix freight train on conrail????

I have a printout of a **286 car** empty hopper train, XDI53, on 8/22/94. Engines LMS 702 and 704. It ran from Collinwood to Buckeye with empty bathtubs for Conway, and hoppers for Ebensburg, Driftwood, Bethlehem, Annville, and Freeport PA; Youngstown, Ohio; Dickinson and Swiss WV; and Paulsboro NJ (Mobil Oil).

That's a lot of cars.
