In the first few months of the Conrail merger, paint crews made due with lettering stencils cobbled together from old Penn Central and EL stencils. By the summer of 1976 new stencils were in place at Conrail’s car shops and cars like this began to appear. In later years, the CONRAIL name was moved to a position over the wheel-n-rail logo and later still, the logos were reduced in size. The final variation introduced in the early 90s included the Conrail Quality logo. Conrail was far and away the largest owner of 86’ boxcars. Conrail cars still operating today with CR reporting marks are now part of the Norfolk Southern fleet.
