Norfolk Southern CEO Moorman named Railway Age ‘Railroader of the  Year’
NORFOLK,  VA. -- Charles W. “Wick” Moorman, chairman, president and chief 
executive  officer of Norfolk Southern Corp., has been named 2011 Railroader 
of the Year  by railroad industry trade journal Railway Age.  
“Wick  Moorman provides the strong leadership that has enabled Norfolk 
Southern to  make great strides in areas that are critical to the future of the 
railroad  industry,” said Railway Age Editor William C. Vantuono. “In 
addition to  performing solidly, controlling costs, improving productivity, and 
continuing  to invest in growth capital in a recessionary economy, Norfolk 
Southern has  excelled in technological innovation and development of 
public-private  partnerships. Among the many examples of these accomplishments are 
the  railroad’s building and testing of an all-electric battery-powered yard  
locomotive, and opening the Heartland Corridor, a major intermodal artery  
developed in partnership with several states. Norfolk Southern is strongly  
positioned for growth and is an example of why railroads are increasingly 
the  mode of choice for the nation’s transportation needs. This is why we have 
 chosen Wick Moorman as our 2011 Railroader of the Year.” 
“I  am honored by this recognition,” said Moorman. “It reflects on the 
entire  Norfolk Southern team -- talented, dedicated, and committed to safety – 
who  make our company a success. They are the very best in the business, 
and I am  proud to be one of them.”  
Moorman  is Railway Age’s 48th Railroader of the Year. Modern Railroads 
magazine  founded the award, one of the most prestigious in the railroad 
industry, in  1964 as the “Man of the Year.” Railway Age acquired Modern 
Railroads in 1991  and has presented the award annually since then. Moorman will be 
honored on  March 15, 2011, at Chicago’s Union League Club. He follows in 
the footsteps of  several railroad industry icons from the Norfolk Southern, 
Norfolk &  Western, and Southern railways: Stephen C. Tobias (2008), David R. 
Goode (2005  and 1998), Arnold B. McKinnon (1990), L. Stanley Crane (1974), 
and D.W.  Brosnan (1964), the first Railroader of the Year. 
Railway  Age will tell the story of Wick Moorman and the remarkable, 
innovative  organization he leads at Norfolk Southern with a cover story in the 
magazine’s  January 2011 issue.
