The announcement of a leadership transition at BNSF Railway was not unexpected: Effective Jan. 1, 2014, Carl Ice, President since 2010, will add the title of Chief Executive Officer. Matt Rose will become Executive Chairman, where he will be the railroad’s chief decision-maker, but without daily operational responsibilities.
