Amtrak names new chief executive
By Lori Aratani June 26 at 1:35 PM

Amtrak has named Richard Anderson, the former chief executive of Delta and Northwest airlines, as its new president and CEO.

The announcement comes less than a year into the tenure Charles W. “Wick” Moorman, who took over as the passenger railroad’s chief executive in September 2016. In a recent meeting with The Washington Post’s editorial board, Moorman had indicated that his role would be to serve as a “transitional CEO,” working to reorganize and streamline Amtrak’s operations before turning it over to new leadership.
