'''Conrail Shared Assets Operations''' ('''CSAO''') is the commonly used name for modern-day [[Conrail]] ([[reporting mark]] '''CRCX'''), an American [[railroad]] company. It operates three networks, the [[North Jersey]], [[South Jersey]]/[[Philadelphia]], and [[Detroit]] Shared Assets Areas,<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://www.conrail.com/system-map/ | title=System Map }}</ref> where it serves as a contract local carrier and switching company for its owners, [[CSX Transportation]] and the [[Norfolk Southern Railway]]. When most of the former [[Conrail]]'s track was split between these two railroads, the three shared assets areas (a total of about 1,200 miles of track) were kept separate to avoid giving one railroad an advantage in those areas. The company operates using its own employees and infrastructure but owns no equipment outside [[Maintenance of way|MOW equipment]].
