Cindy Sanborn, the former operating chief at CSX Corp., has
landed a new railroad job at Union Pacific Corp. just months after
leaving her prior role during an executive shake up.
Ms. Sanborn will lead Union Pacific operations in its Western
Region, which stretches from Washington to New Mexico, as a
regional vice president. She will be based out of Roseville,
Calif., and oversee about a third of Union Pacific's track
miles.
Mr. Sanborn spent more than three decades at CSX, rising to
become the railroad's top operating executive, the first female to
hold such a position at any of the large North American railroads.
She was among the senior leaders being considered to lead CSX until
the railroad hired turnaround expert Hunter Harrison last
March.
Mr. Harrison overhauled CSX after joining, implementing his
precision scheduled railroading strategy that included closing
yards, idling locomotives and changing to a new schedule. The quick
timetable disrupted operations and led to congestion for much of
the summer.
Ms. Sanborn was dispatched to calm rattled customers and
appeared alongside Mr. Harrison before federal regulators last
October during a session about the railroad's service problems.
Shortly after that meeting, Ms. Sanborn, along with two top
executives, resigned as Mr. Harrison brought in a confidant, Jim
Foote, who helped him lead a railroad turnaround in the past.
Mr. Harrison, who had suffered an undisclosed health issue, died
in December, and the railroad is now being led by Mr. Foote.
Ms. Sanborn, who is expected to start at Union Pacific next
month, is succeeding Richard Castagna, who is retiring after nearly
25 years with the company.
