They're Pinning It on Him

Norfolk, Va. - Jun 08, 2015

 

Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) is naming its largest freight train classification yard after Charles W. Wick Moorman for his leadership in support of freight railroads and their investors, customers, and employees.

Moorman Yard is now the official name of Norfolk Southerns Bellevue, Ohio, yard. Moorman retired June 1, 2015, as chief executive officer and has assumed duties as executive chairman of the corporations board of directors.

In making the announcement, NS President and CEO Jim Squires said, Wicks incredible talent has been to bring the entire Thoroughbred team forward in the same direction -- always forward, always with enthusiasm and the right intent, always with the sense that we can do great things. Shareholders, employees, business partners all are better for it.

This is timely and well-deserved recognition for a railroader who thinks big, who thinks long-term, and who does the right things in the right ways, Squires said.  FMB will love this

Moorman Yard is the largest rail yard on the NS system after the recent completion of $160 million in improvements that doubled its size. It is one of NS 11 primary classification yards, where freight cars are collected and sorted for their final destinations.

Moorman Yard is midway between Chicago and New York. Five NS main lines converge there, making it a perfect location for distributing some 3,200 carloads of freight moving daily. On a broader scale, Moorman Yards centralized position on NS Northern Region promotes fluid movement of long-distance freight across the entire rail network.

Bellevue has been a railroading community since the late 19th century, when NS Nickel Plate Road predecessor began operations there. The current Bellevue Yard was opened in 1966 by NS Norfolk and Western Railway predecessor. Today, 100 to 110 trains pass through daily, while 20 to 30 originate in the area and a like number terminate there. Most of the trains carry automobiles and parts, agricultural products, and consumer products.

Moorman joined NS predecessor Southern Railway in 1970 as a co-op student. He was named chairman, president and CEO in 2006. Moorman is recognized as a champion of public-private partnerships to create rail infrastructure that benefits America long-term, as an advocate of balanced regulation to best serve the interests of railroads and their customers, and as a leader in reducing the railroads environmental footprint.

They're nowhere close because they're being run by following the Moorman LEADER.
