Railway Age’s 2011 Railroader of the Year Charles W. “Wick” Moorman
IV retired as chairman, president and CEO of Norfolk Southern in
2015, then spent a year as president of Amtrak. Since then, he’s
been active in historic preservation, among other ventures, taking
the lead, with colleagues Bennett Levin and Henry Posner, in the
second restoration of Pennsylvania Railroad K4 Pacific steam
locomotive 1361 and work with reorganizing the Railroaders Memorial
Museum of Altoona. He’s also involved in resurrecting
Pennsylvania’s East Broad Top as a tourist attraction and driver of
regional economic activity. In this wide-ranging interview with
Railway Age Editor-in-Chief William C. Vantuono, Wick talks about
his historic preservation initiatives and tenure as Amtrak
president—and offers his very candid, eye-opening observations on
the current state of the U.S. rail industry: Precision Scheduled
Railroading, customer service, capital investment, the Surface
Transportation Board and regulation, and Amtrak’s relationship with
its host freight railroads. This is one podcast well-worth a
listen!
