Conrail is a portmanteau of \"consolidated\" and \"rail\" from the name of the company.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U.S. federal government created Conrail to take over the potentially profitable lines of multiple bankrupt carriers. With the benefit of industry-wide regulatory requirements being reduced (via the 4R Act and the Staggers Act), Conrail began to turn a profit in the 1980s and was turned over to private investors in 1987. The two remaining Class I railroads in the East, CSX Transportation and the Norfolk Southern Railway (NS), agreed in 1997 to split the system approximately equally, returning rail freight competition to the Northeast by essentially undoing the 1968 merger of the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central Railroad.  Following Surface Transportation Board approval, CSX and NS took control in August 1998, and on June 1, 1999, began operating their portions of Conrail.  (Credit - Wikipedia)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Transportation Co.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67628054642917,"sku":"zym1791433317403","price":9.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0747\/3627\/1589\/files\/conrail-license-plate_1.jpg?v=1791433351","url":"https:\/\/www.autraemall.com\/products\/conrail-license-plate","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
