In the early 1970's, a number of the railroads in the north eastern United States were failing. To keep the rails moving, the Regional Rail Reorganization Act of 1973 was signed into law on January 2, 1974. Among other things, this created the Consolidated Rail Corporation (Conrail) into which a number of the failing railroads would be merged. The following railroads were included: Penn Central, Ann Arbor Railroad, Erie Lackawanna Railway, Lehigh Valley Railroad, Reading Company, Central Railroad of New Jersey, and Lehigh and Hudson River Railway. Conrail operations officially began on April 1, 1976.

Conrail inherited equipment from a number of railroads. Initially, most of the equipment continued with their original paint schemes, but with a "CR" (for Conrail) stenciled on and perhaps some road numbers changed. In January 1976, a Conrail blue and white paint scheme and logo were approved. The new paint scheme was applied to EMD GP40 #3091 on May 20, 1976. Over time it was discovered that the blue Dupont acrylic lacquer paint used would begin chalking after a year. So in the late 1980's it was changed to Imron paint which gave a sleightly darker shade of blue.

By 1993, all Conrail EMD GP9's were either retired or rebuilt as EMD GP10's.

In 1997, Conrail was acquired by Norfolk Southern and CSX Corporation through a joint stock purchase, and the assets were split between them.
