New York Central, PennCentral, and Conrail were major
railroads in our area.
After the 1998 Conrail breakup, the NYC/PC/CR Chicago lines from Cleveland west
became part of Norfolk Southern. The NYC/PC/CR lines from Cleveland east went to CSX, as did the former NYC/PC/CR Big Four route
southwest from Cleveland.
This page carries NYC/PC/CR pictures from before the CR breakup.
