The Pennsylvania Railroad was established in 1846 & headquartered in Philadelphia. It reached its peak in 1882, & in 1968, the Pennsylvania Railroad merged with New York Central & the railroad eventually went by the name of Penn Central Transportation Company. Bankruptcy forced the railroad company to sell its assets in 1976 to Consolidated Rail Corporation, or Conrail, & in 1999 Conrail was purchased & split up between the Norfolk Southern Railway & CSX Transportation.
