Here’s Why CSX Is the Railway to Watch in 2017

CP Rail CEO Hunter Harrison looks set to move to the Florida-based carrier, and based on recent history, he is likely to improve efficiency. The ground shifted beneath the railroad sector last week, when Canadian Pacific Railway announced that CEO Hunter Harrison would step down from the top job, effective Jan. 31. But the 72-year-old railroader, who was chief executive at CP’s main rival, Canadian National Railway , before taking over at CP in June 2012, doesn’t look like he’ll be retiring just yet.
