CSX Announces Retirement of Chief Operating Officer Mike Cory
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – October 12, 2026 –
CSX (NASDAQ: CSX) announced today that Mike Cory, executive vice president and chief operating officer, is retiring from the company. Mike will work with the entire leadership team to ensure a smooth transition.
“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,” said Steve Angel, president and chief executive officer. “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.”
Doug Ryhorchuk, senior vice president of Operations, and Casey Albright, senior vice president of Network Operations and Service Design, will now report directly to Angel.

“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.”
