Penn Central Company former U.S. transportation company, formed in 1968 by the merger of the New York Central RR and the Pennsylvania RR . By the early 1970s the railroad was bankrupt; in 1976 the U.S. government created Conrail from the Penn Central and five other failed eastern railroads. In 1994 the company became an insurance firm, American Premier Underwriters. Conrail itself was taken over in 1999 by the CSX and Norfolk Southern railroads.
