GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Keep the railfan conversation rolling with a Conrail can cooler inspired by one of the most important names in modern Northeastern freight history. Formed to preserve service from bankrupt regional railroads, Conrail launched operations in 1976 and later became a profitable, privatized carrier. Its blue paint, Conrail Quality name, CR mark, and 1999 division between CSX and Norfolk Southern make it a natural subject for collectors. A relaxed tribute for gatherings, game days, and railroad stories.
Conrail, formally the Consolidated Rail Corporation, was created by the federal government to preserve potentially profitable freight lines from bankrupt Northeastern railroads. Incorporated in Pennsylvania on October 25, 1974, it began operations on April 1, 1976. Its system drew on Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley, Reading, Central Railroad of New Jersey, Lehigh and Hudson River, and portions of Ann Arbor. Penn Central itself had resulted from the 1968 merger of the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central Railroad. After early losses, infrastructure rebuilding, regulatory change, and management improvements helped Conrail become profitable in the 1980s. The company was privatized in 1987. CSX and Norfolk Southern agreed in 1997 to acquire and divide most of Conrail; they took control in August 1998 and began operating their portions on June 1, 1999. Conrail remains jointly owned, operating Shared Assets Areas in New Jersey, Philadelphia, and Detroit.
