The change is another positive step to support Railinc's continued expansion of its rail management information services with a closely aligned vision across all products and services. This shift is designed to further sharpen Railinc's focus on satisfying customer needs.

Under their new leadership each business group will continue to develop fresh initiatives while maintaining continuity within the overall Railinc family.

'We look forward to providing our customers with new services as a result of this unique exchange of talent.'
