CSX Names Steve Angel as New CEO Amid Industry Restructuring

CSX Corp. has announced a significant change in leadership. Effective September 28, 2025, Steve Angel will take over as the new president and chief executive officer, succeeding Joe Hinrichs who will step down from his position.

Angel's appointment comes amid potential restructuring in the U.S. railroad industry. CSX, however, remains committed to advancing its strategic priorities and maximizing shareholder value. Angel brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously served as CEO of Linde, where he oversaw its merger with Praxair. Prior to this, he started his career at General Electric, working directly with locomotive and rail operations. His top priorities at CSX will be ensuring the safety of the railroad, delivering reliable service, and increasing shareholder value. Despite the leadership change, CSX expects full-year volume growth.

Steve Angel's appointment to the CSX board and his new role as president and CEO are expected to bring valuable leadership qualities to the company. CSX continues to focus on its strategic goals and anticipates growth despite the change in leadership.
