What happened
Norfolk Southern acquired a portion of Conrail in 1999, an action noted during the Class I's 25th anniversary. The railroad has since increased its operations, now running 1,800 trains daily and serving over 6,400 customer locations.
Why it matters
The acquisition of Conrail assets expanded Norfolk Southern’s service territory into additional northeastern markets. This historical expansion was part of the railroad’s growth during the era of deregulation and increased rail competition.
