[edit] New York Central Lines

From [1] (subdivision names from [2])

Formation Of NYC And PRR. To effect the Division, CRC will form two wholly owned subsidiaries (referred to collectively as the Subsidiaries): New York Central Lines LLC (NYC) and Pennsylvania Lines LLC (PRR). CSXC will have exclusive authority to appoint the officers and directors of NYC; NSC will likewise have exclusive authority to appoint the officers and directors of PRR; and CRC, as the sole member of the Subsidiaries, will (with certain exceptions) follow CSXC's and NSC's directions with respect to the management and operation of NYC and PRR, respectively.

Allocation Of Conrail Assets And Liabilities. On the date of the Division, CRC will assign to NYC and PRR certain of CRC's assets. NYC will be assigned those CRC assets designated to be operated as part of the CSX rail system (the NYC-Allocated Assets), and PRR will be assigned those CRC assets designated to be operated as part of the NS rail system (the PRR-Allocated Assets). These assets will include, among other things, certain lines and facilities currently operated by Conrail, whether owned by Conrail or operated by Conrail under trackage rights. Certain additional assets (referred to as the Retained Assets) will continue to be held by CRR and CRC (or their subsidiaries other than NYC and PRR) and will be operated by them for the benefit of CSX and NS. In addition, on the date of the Division: the former Conrail line now owned by NS that runs from Fort Wayne, IN, to Chicago, IL (the Fort Wayne Line), will be transferred to Conrail in a like-kind exchange for Conrail's Chicago South/Illinois Lines (the Streator Line); and Conrail will assign the Fort Wayne line to NYC, to be operated together with the other Conrail lines to be assigned to NYC and used by CSX as part of the CSX rail system.
