CSX recently announced the retirement of Mike Cory, CSX executive vice president and chief operating officer.
Cory said he will work with the company’s leadership team to ensure a smooth transition to a new COO. Doug Ryhorchuk, senior VP of operations, and Casey Albright, senior VP of network operations and service design, will report directly to Steve Angel, president and CEO.
“Mike has dedicated his career to the railroad industry and has made significant contributions to CSX, our customers, and our employees, helping drive safety and productivity to record levels while developing a strong bench of leaders across our Operations organization,” Angel said. “On behalf of the entire company and our Board of Directors, I want to thank him for his leadership and commitment to CSX. We wish him all the best in retirement.”
Ryhorchuk came to CSX in 2024 after nearly four decades at CN. He oversees CSX’s transportation, engineering, and mechanical functions, with a focus on safety and efficiency. Albright has been with CSX for nearly 30 years, and leads the design and execution of service plans that strengthen network fluidity and service reliability.
“CSX has a deep and experienced operations leadership team,” Angel said. “I have great confidence in Doug, Casey, and our entire Operations organization. Under their leadership, our priorities remain the same: operating safely, delivering consistent and reliable service to our customers, and driving long-term value for our shareholders as we continue working to make CSX the best-performing railroad in North America.”
