GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Celebrate Conrail’s place in the railroad history of the Northeast with a hoodie or sweatshirt built around a name collectors immediately recognize. Conrail began freight operations in 1976 after federal reorganization brought together lines connected to Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna, Reading, Lehigh Valley, and more. The design speaks to fans of Conrail Blue, Conrail Quality, CR reporting marks, privatization in 1987, and the landmark CSX and Norfolk Southern division completed in 1999.
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.
