After 10 years, we finally had a technical issue with the old conrail.net web site. Unfortunately, the hosting provider corrupted the site and was not able to recover the database. There were other problems with the domain name that have now been resolved.
The site was originally launched in June 1999 to enable former employees to share their contact information. We were ahead of our time. There are now many social networking sites that allow this.
The site, though expensive to maintain, served a purpose -- and I was reluctant to completely pull the plug. So we are converting it to a blog to enable folks to post comments and broadcast information to former work colleagues.
In addition, we have set up a networking group at http://www.linkedin.com/ that will enable sharing of contact information. The group name is "Conrail". We hope everyone will take advantage of this service and take the time to join.
