This day in Railroad History
March 26, 1987
Today saw the largest initial public offering (IPO) in US history when Conrail's stock, worth $1.9 billion, was sold to private investors. This IPO was the result of the Conrail Privatization Act of 1986 signed by President Reagan. Conrail had been formed from 7 northeast bankrupt major railroads 13 years earlier and supported with billions of federal dollars in its early years.
