This Conrail mouse pad is for collectors and railfans who recognize the blue locomotives, CR reporting mark, and Conrail Quality identity that came to represent a rebuilt Northeastern system. Conrail began in 1976 and moved from difficult early years to profitability before its 1987 privatization and 1999 division. It makes a thoughtful workday reference to the railroad’s lasting corporate and visual legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConrail, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e9\" × 8\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eWidth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e9.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e8.00\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDepth, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"4\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e0.06\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Smooth, low-friction surface for effortless mouse movement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Full-front color print with bright, accurate reproduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Ultra-thin 1\/16\" (1.58 mm) high-density foam core\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Non-slip rubber base that grips the desk\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Rectangular shape with one-sided print\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use warm water and dish soap to clean spots off your pad.
