ON TRACK

As a terminal and switching service provider for its owners, CSX Transportation( CSX) and Norfolk Southern, Conrail consistently delivers safe and efficient rail services to many local rail freight customers in Detroit, New Jersey, and Philadelphia. Clients located along the company’ s routes in these shared asset areas enjoy access to the national rail network through either Norfolk Southern or CSX. Although Conrail no longer oversees commercial affairs for customers, it remains vital in serving shippers and receivers as an agent for its owners. In its role as a local rail service provider, the company ensures that its customers’ freight shipments are safely and efficiently transported between their rail sidings and the long-distance freight trains operated by CSX and Norfolk Southern.
