I have always had the impression that none of them really had a choice. Their two options were: 1. Become part of Conrail. or: 2. Go bankrupt and cease to exist, then become part of Conrail anyway, after you cease to exist. (yes, im replying to myself. ;) Because thinking about it some more, for Pe...
