These cars would eventually find their way to Conrail in 1976, retaining their PC numbering series while getting CR reporting marks. Some cars received full repaints, while others received just patch jobs. After toiling for many years with Penn Central\/Conrail, CN acquired a substantial portion of the remaining fleet, many of which were sold off to leasing companies more recently.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"category-view\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"category-cms\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn_block bottom-spacing\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;\"\u003eThe only subclass of the X72 was the X72A.
