Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Conrail today just use motive power from it's parent companies CSX and Norfolk Southern?  Apart from that, the only only other rail equipment they own is MOW-related as I understand it.

So I think that if anyone is operating "current-day" Conrail would just be hauling trains that use either CSX or NS power (including any leased locomotives by those two companies).

I think they still have a network of track under their ownership. I remember a few years ago they had liability in south jersey for a bridge, i think. Also see their name come up every now and again regarding infrastructure. I'd be interested in seeing a map of what's theirs.

The map is easily available. http://www.conrail.com/system-map/

Would be fun to model. Curious if anyone does it. I guess I can say I do cause I do the NJ area and have a mix of conrail, csx, and ns stuff but accuracy isn't a concern of mine.

Comment: All "revenue" rolling stock would likely be repainted with either CSX or NS logos. Only MOW equipment would likely remain as CR equipment.

I seriously doubt that, as I'll bet "Conrail" doesn't even have any employees, except maybe an attorney or two. Both CSX and NS are maintaining their own trackage, with their own equipment and employees.

I have modern Conrail motive power and freight cars in my collection. I also am working on some customs too.

the company is a jointly owned subsidiary of CSX and NS.  there may be two engines at last count with Conrail colors, both C40-8, but that was some time ago.

Still around or not I model Conrail. 

Conrail exists as sudsidary of CSX and NS. They have their own employees with their own union agreements. Depending on the craft that your in NS or CSX will train you. For example NS handle conductor/engineer training and CSX does the track worker/mow training. NS handles the payroll. Depending on the yard location CSX and NS brings in the inbound train and then pulls the outbound. Conrail crews work the yards and switch tne industries.

One bet that you'll come up short on. Click on the Conrail link posted above and you will see all sort of Conrail Employee benefits. When NS and CSX took over the Employees in the shared assets areas had to decide to work for NS, CSX, or Conrail. I would have stayed with Conrail but that wasn't a choice for Harrisburg.

I hope someone can answer my questions. Would Conrail be considered a "Fallen Flag"at this time? What happened to the Conrail Executive Train?

The E8 locomotives from the former Conrail Executive Train were overhauled and repainted to the PRR single stripe paint scheme by the Juniata Terminal Company.  They now pull the company's private passenger cars, and can be seen on special excursion trains.

Here is an interesting website that lists each unit and car from the Conrail Office Car Special and where they ended up as of August of 1998.

I hope someone can answer my questions. Would Conrail be considered a "Fallen Flag"at this time? 

YES for modeling purposes but NO if you get technical.

My friend Anthony's Atlas Dash 8 after some electronic repair and upgrade on my layout.  An EOB drive was installed.

As I understand it, Conrail also has switching district in the Detroit area.   I think the line that runs north-south between Mound Road and Van Dyke is part of it.  

Nice Conrail collection

And here I thought they were history, Duuupp. Big Blue lives on.

PRRHorseshoecurve,

That extended vision caboose, the one with the Conrail Quality logo and Phildadelphia division on it looks really good. Is that one of the custom pieces you mentioned? If not who made it? Thank you.

We run a switcher Conrail engine on our club layout in Scottsdale,Az

Who would of thought!

I believe that is an Atlas caboose

I did when I was in HO, but not in O.
