This
car was built for Lehigh Valley before being repainted and absorbed
into the Conrail roster. Conrail was a Class 1 railroad operating
in the Northeastern United States from 1976 until 1999. Conrail
was formed by the federal government through the mergers of
bankrupt Penn Central, Erie Lackawanna, and other roads. Conrail
eventually turned a profit, and in the late 1980s it was privatized,
and continued operating until the late 1990s when it was split
between Norfolk Southern and CSX.
