Norfolk Southern has announced that Wick Moorman will complete his term as Chairman of the Board effective October 1st, 2015.  He will continue to serve as a director as well as an advisor to the CEO until the end of 2015 and then officially retires as an NS employee.

James A. Squires, current CEO and President has been named to succeed Moorman as Chairman of the Board.  He has been a NS employee since 1992 and has served in law, finance and administrative positions before becoming President in 2013 and CEO in 2015.

I hope this does't mean the end of NS steam operations. It would be a shame to have just gotten the 611 back and have no where on former N&W rails to run.
