Founded in 1837, it served the area between New York and Washington in the east to Chicago and St. Louis in the west, with most of its trackage concentrated in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. The PARR competed head-to-head with the New York Central (NYC) in many markets; after World War II, as passenger traffic began to dwindle and operating costs rose, the PARR began having difficult financial times. In a survival move, the PARR and NYC merged to form the Penn Central in 1968; this move was not successful either, and in 1976 the US government took over this line, and other eastern regional railroads, to form Conrail. Conrail was sold to Norfolk Southern and CSX in 1999, and the surviving PARR trackage is now operated primarily by these two railroads.
