Eastern Railroad Discussion > Conrail Merger QuestionDate: 01/23/03 17:23 Conrail Merger Question Author: learmoia Okay, Question on the Merger.. What would be the final possible date that the Conrail Merger could have fallen though..
I know the SP and ATSF were painting locomotives early, and the merger fell though.. Would it have been possible for the Conrail merger to fall though, after Conrail took delivery of the CSX SD70MACs and NS SD70s Trying to justify having SD70MACs and SD70s without the Conrail Merger.. Thanks ~Ian Date: 01/23/03 17:43 Re: Conrail Merger Question Author: toledopatch The Surface Transportation Board issued its final ruling of approval on August 23, 1998. The units you mention all had been ordered by then, so your no-merger roster fantasy would have been possible.
