Our presentation includes many maps created especially for video to keep the viewer informed and to help paint the big picture. We bring you the early years of rebuilding, and the later years of a successful operation, that surprised nearly everyone. Everyone that is except the committed employees and the leadership Conrail had during its four phases of existence. This was like a four act play with every element needed to make a great story that will be studied by business analysts and rail historians for years to come. The four principal phases of Conrails existence each had a CEO from a different business background that helped forge Conrail into a valuable operation. Once the system was stabilized, Conrail started making a profit and they went public with shares of stock that repaid all the accumulated debt. By the late 1980s Conrail was now taken seriously. Fortunately, all this was carefully recorded for history. This video has been created from the early movie filming and professional-format video material of three different rail historians each with their own talent and unique style. These are all scenes that you can no longer see along the todays rails. In 1999, Conrail was divided and integrated into the Norfolk Southern and the CSX systems. Learn the plan that could have bolstered Conrails future as a separate, large system but for a twist of fate. Our presentation includes many maps made especially for video to keep the viewer informed and to help paint the big picture.
