Conrail reported a net income of $29.4 million for the second quarter of 1979. This was the first time CR had a profitable quarter since its beginning. The gains were attributed by Chairman Edward Jordan to the three years of steady improvements in physical plant, improved locomotive and rolling stock availability, better traffic mix and improved car loadings.
Reported in the November 1979 Railfan and Railroad Magazine.
