CONSOLIDATED RAIL CASE STUDY
Conrail is a switching and terminal railroad headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The company operates over approximately 1,200 miles of track in three geographical
regions: Detroit, Michigan; Northern New Jersey; and Southern New Jersey/Philadelphia.
As an agent for line haul carriers Norfolk Southern and CSX Transportation, Inc., Conrail’s
mission is to provide safe and efficient rail service to customers located in the geographical
regions that they serve.
When SunTrust Banks Inc. announced it was discontinuing the dial-up service that Conrail had been using, Conrail had two months to set up another way to manage secure file transfers.
