I often wondered who turned off the lights at 6 Penn Center that night. I think
someone once told me that the Blue Room was the last to go.

I think it'd be real nice if everyone on here would post what they were
doing the final day of Conrail. I'll start with mine.



I spent the final day up at Bryan, OH in the evening. The weather was cloudy
and gloomy, with scattered rain showers off on and on throughout the day. I
remember thinking it was fitting weather for what was about to happen. I had
gotten there around 6pm and spent about an hour looking at empty track before a
eastbound train showed up. I ended up seeing about 10 or 12 trains that night
before midnight. I still clearly remember at 12:01am exactly, the scanner lit
up as the dispatcher came on and said "NS Toledo West answering, over". Conrail
got signed off without anyone saying goodbye(at least in the Dearborn dispatcher
office at the Toledo West desk).
