50 years on the railroad – and one unforgettable day in the CEO’s office.
When Locomotive Engineer Ron Steinhart asked for a photo in his office, CEO Jim Vena didn’t hesitate to grant the 50-year honoree’s request. The result: a “CEO for the Day” moment celebrating five decades of dedication, surrounded by his fellow Operating honorees – complete with a custom nameplate Steinhart carried with him from California.
