Ann Arbor Railroad

Main article: Ann Arbor Railroad

The Ann Arbor Railroad (AAR reporting mark AA) ran from Toledo, Ohio north via Ann Arbor, Michigan to Frankfort, Michigan. The company started as the Toledo, Ann Arbor and Northern Railroad, and after several renamings became the Ann Arbor Railroad in 1895. From 1905 to 1910 the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad controlled it. The Wabash Railroad controlled it from 1925 to 1963, at which time it was sold back to the DT&I until 1976, when it was to be merged into Conrail. However, Conrail would have abandoned most of the route, and the State of Michigan bought the AA to prevent that. Conrail operated the full line for about a year, after which the Michigan Interstate Railway took over operations. In 1983 the line was split among three short lines - Michigan Interstate Railway, Tuscola and Saginaw Bay Railway and Michigan Northern Railway. In 1984 the T&SB took over the MN, and the MI was reorganized as the Ann Arbor Railroad in 1988. The section operated by the current Ann Arbor Railroad is south of Ann Arbor, which is the portion that Conrail would have retained.

Central Railroad of New Jersey

Main article: Central Railroad of New Jersey

The Central Railroad of New Jersey (AAR reporting mark CNJ) owned a system in New Jersey and west to Scranton, Pennsylvania. It started out as the Elizabethtown and Somerville Railroad, and was renamed to the CNJ in 1849. In 1870 it leased the Lehigh and Susquehanna Railroad to reach Scranton, and was under Philadelphia and Reading Railway control from 1883 to 1887. From 1946 to 1952 the Pennsylvania lines (former L&S) were leased to a new company, the Central Railroad of Pennsylvania, in a failed tax dodge. In 1976 the CNJ was merged into Conrail. Most of the former CNJ lines are now owned by New Jersey Transit and operated through trackage rights by Conrail on behalf of CSX Transportation and the Norfolk Southern Railway; part of the line in Pennsylvania went to NS in the 1998 Conrail breakup.

Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad

Main article: Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad

The Chicago and Eastern Illinois Railroad (AAR reporting marks C&EI; CEI) had main lines from Chicago, Illinois south to Evansville, Indiana and St. Louis, Missouri (splitting in northern Illinois). It served mainly as a bridge line with much passenger and freight traffic continuing to the U.S. South. The line started out as the Chicago, Danville and Vincennes Railroad, and was completed from Chicago to Evansville in 1871 in conjunction with the Evansville and Illinois Railroad and Evansville, Terre Haute and Chicago Railway. The C&EI was formed in 1877 as a reorganization of the CD&V, and leased the other sections. In 1963 the Interstate Commerce Commission awarded control to the Missouri Pacific Railroad, stipulating that the branch to Evansville and a half interest in the combined line to Chicago be sold to the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. That sale occurred in 1969, and in 1976 the C&EI merged into the MP.

The Chicago Great Western Railway (AAR reporting mark CGW) linked Chicago, Minneapolis, Omaha, and Kansas City. It was founded in 1885 as a regional line between St. Paul and the Iowa state line called the Minnesota and Northwestern Railroad, but through acquisition and construction, the railroad, named Chicago Great Western after 1909, developed into an innovative and efficient addition to the competetive markets it served. It survived the two World Wars and two periods of bankruptcy to be merged with the Chicago and North Western Railway (CNW) in 1968, which abandoned most of the CGW's trackage.

Conrail (AAR reporting mark CR) was formed on April 1, 1976 as a federally-funded takeover of the major railroad companies in the Northeast, all of which were financially failing. Against all predictions, Conrail managed to turn a profit, and on August 22, 1998 (the Control Date), most of Conrail's track was split between two newly-formed Conrail subsidiary limited liability companies - 42% to New York Central Lines, to be operated by CSX, and 58% to Pennsylvania Lines, to be operated by Norfolk Southern. (The names were chosen because of the former owners of the main lines west from New Jersey/New York City into Ohio, the New York Central Railroad and Pennsylvania Railroad.) Conrail continued to operate its former system until June 1, 1999 (Day One, the Closing Date or the Split Date). The three shared assets areas were kept to avoid giving one railroad an advantage in those areas.
