If you're speaking of the 1890s, I'd guess there to be a long list, but for the 1990s, in addition to Conrail, other big players would be CSX and Norfolk Southern. There may be others, too, and perhaps someone more familiar with the area can add some information.

Blue Mountain Reading and Northern is one that was just starting up around then. She runs on former RDG, CNJ, & LV trackage acquired from Conrail, moving coal from a lot of the old anthracite towns in eastern PA.


Here is a link to their system map

The Monongahela Railway was in operation until 1993.
