CSX Transportation recently named David Brown executive vice president and chief operating officer to succeed Tony Ingram, who plans to retire at month’s end.
A 40-year railroading veteran, Ingram helped implement the ONE Plan operating blueprint at the Class I the past few years and “brought us closer to being a scheduled railroad,” said CSXT spokesman Gary Sease.
A nearly 30-year railroading veteran, Brown most recently was CSXT’s VP and chief transportation officer. He previously served Norfolk Southern Corp. for 25 years, holding such positions as VP of strategic planning and general manager-northern region.
CSXT also named Cindy Sanborn VP and CTO to succeed Brown. She most recently was VP-northern region.
