Historical Background:
The New York Central Railroad merged with its longtime rival, the Pennsylvania Railroad, in 1968 to form Penn Central Transportation Company. However, Penn Central faced significant financial difficulties and declared bankruptcy just two years later in 1970. In 1976, Penn Central was consolidated into the newly formed Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail), which operated freight services across the northeastern United States until its division between Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation in 1999.
