The Surface Transportation Board approved the joint takeover of Conrail yesterday.
Under the deal Norfolk Southern and C-S-X will split up the Philadelphia-based railroad, bringing competition to an area that's been served by one train.
Regulators say breaking up the Conrail monopoly is clearly in the public interest.
An oversight panel will watch the railroad's progress for the next five years to make sure the takeover runs smoothly.

DVD came out last year-- those discs are fairly expensive.
