Just a little tidbit I did not know about the Conrail logo that the Color Theroy for Web and Multimedia Instructor posted up. His grandfather worked for Conrail.

From Instructor Mitchell Eismont,

"Along with my grandfather being an engineer for Conrail, I took a class with Tony Pallidino whom designed the actual logo. If you look at the Conrail logo you can see a upper case C, a tire on the track and also the rails."

This is something I didnt know about the Conrail logo, but for this class it was quite helpful, as I had asked Hdarelliii on here to pass along the side night shot he took of 8098 to Mitchell. The 8098 reminded him of his grandfather. It reminded me of the days back when I was young and dad would take me trackside in Oak Harbor, Ohio. You never know what you will learn in college, as this was quite interesting.

The Conrail logo is in no way a can opener. The can opener thing was some foamer making fun of the logo. What is above is the truth on this logo.
