Conrail (Consolidated Rail Corporation) Tough Phone Case
Carry Conrail history with you in a phone case made for fans of classic freight railroading. Conrail’s story runs from its 1976 launch as a federally created railroad through privatization and the 1999 division of most routes between CSX and Norfolk Southern. The blue locomotives, CR mark, and Conrail Quality identity still stand out in railroad culture. This is a practical collector-minded piece for everyday railfan pride.
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.
