Alex Kummant Leaves Amtrak
November 14, 2008 | 03:16 p.m. CST
Amtrak President and Chief Executive Officer Alex Kummant resigned Nov. 14 after serving two years heading the National Railroad Passenger Corp., as Amtrak is formally known, reports Railway Age.
Amtrak Chief Operating Officer William Crosbie will succeed Kummant on an interim basis, likely to last until President-elect Barack Obama's administration makes its mark on the Amtrak board of directors early in 2009. The board, in turn, will select a new CEO.
Kummant was named Amtrak president in September 2006, filling the top slot left vacant by the departure of David Gunn 10 months earlier.
