  • Defect Detection systems that automatically detect failures of moving trains and alert railroad personnel to those failures. These defects include dragging equipment, over-height railcars, and overheated railcar bearings.
  • Railyard Process Control Systems (PCS) that assist the transportation team in the movement of railcars within railyard.
  • Moveable Bridge sensors that ensure a moveable bridge is aligned correctly for the safe passage of trains.
  • The signal department is always on the forefront of the implementation of new railway technology.
  • TRAINING – Upon hire, employees will receive extensive OJT and offsite training.

CONRAIL is an EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER

Company Description

Customers located along Conrail’s lines in these shared asset areas have access to the nation’s rail network through either NS or CSX.
Although Conrail no longer handles commercial matters for customers, we continue to play a critical role in serving shippers and receivers as an agent for our owners.
