I do not think Conrail had passenger cars as Conrail was formed after Amtrak.

SDPNZ,

I doubt there are any direct Conrail passenger trains because Conrail ran the freight on the Northeast Corridor and into the Midwest USA, Amtrak runs the national passenger service.

Conrail once handled commuter rail services for various cities, but they got out of that in the early 1990s and Amtrak and other companies took that over.

If you want the Conrail business train, you may have to reskin the coaches and locos yourself.

I can get others.
However, Conrail passenger service was only under early times, I doubt anything got repainted or even stenciled for them. They ran a lot of equipment with original paint and even logos, some going back to pre-PC (who never repainted everything)!
Since this was mainly NJ, this means a lot of CNJ, LV, PRR, EL, RDG equipment, also I once read CNJ had some castoffs from other roads including NP and GN.
Some of this passenger equiment was transferred to MoW use.

When the MBTA took over the commuter rail service from the Boston and Maine, who inherited the south-side service along with its original north-side service when Conrail quite the commuter, there were many cast-off coaches and RDCs that came along. They were from CNJ, Reading, B&O, NH, and NYC (Boston and Albany).

It was interesting riding in some former long distance coaches that belonged to the NYC on the commuter trip from Boston to Andover at the time. THe cars were in pretty good shape, considering they had been in constant use since before the creation of the PennCentral and Amtrak.

Conrail ran local commuter trains across various Northeastern lines from 1976 up until the early 90s in some cases, as John stated previously. Conrail most oftenly ran commuter trains in coordination with states or public transit systems, most notably Septa (Septa ran all operations jointly with Conrail up until the mid-late 80s). The Conrail OCS, or Office Car Special, is a different kind of passenger train, rather a specialty train for railroad executives or top business people. That ran from 1976-1999, up until Conrail ended all large operations. CSX and Norfolk Southern, the two companies that split and received CR's trackage and equipment, still run separate OCSs to this very day.

Anyway, to answer your question, currently none exist for Trainz, both commuter and OCS cars. I suggest learning to reskin coaches you find on the DLS or elsewhere and use them for that purpose.
