(Nov 14, 2008) Amtrak announced the resignation of its President and CEO, Alex Kummant.
Mr. Kummant, seen here with Wayne Davis, was the keynote speaker at the 2007 Annual Meeting of TrainRiders/NE.
Mr. Kummant reflected that he was “proud of what the management team at Amtrak had accomplished over the last two plus years and that he believed Amtrak had a strong operational and financial base to get through the coming turbulent times.”
COO William Crosbie will serve as interim president.
Vice Chairman Hunter Biden, son of vice president-elect Sen. Joseph Biden, said Amtrak would continue to aggressively improve long-term performance.
From the UTU: There were indications that Kummant ran afoul of the Republican members of the Amtrak board.
