Metrolink gets new CEO
LOS ANGELES - A longtime transportation and business executive was named today as the new chief executive officer of Metrolink, the Daily News reports.

John E. Fenton will join the agency April 16, taking over for David R. Solow, who stepped down in December.

Fenton's hiring was announced during a public hearing being held by the Southern California Regional Rail Authority's board of directors, which oversees the commuter agency.

Fenton is a former operating partner of CIH Capital Partners, overseeing plans for acquiring short-lines railroads and negotiating with investors and railroad owners. He was president and CEO of Denver-based transportation company OmniTRAX. He was also a vice president for the Canadian National Railway and Kansas City Southern Railway, and had various positions with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway and Union Pacific Railroad.

Fenton has a masters degree from USC.

"With a unique combination of experience operating rail services and serving at the highest level of executive management, Mr. Fenton is well- prepared to ensure passenger safety and service in our complex railroad operating environment," said Keith Millhouse, chairman of the SCRRA board.
