Amtrak, facing a critical juncture, plans to name Warrington to CEO post

Article Abstract:

Amtrak is still being allowed to make itself viable and pay its own way. Now the government subsidized and taxpayer financed railroad agency will try another president, this time, acting president George Warrington, who took over when Thomas Downs left in December 1997. Warrington, 46 years old, comes from New Jersey's commuter-rail operation where he held an executive position. The new president will have to deal with labor unions, politicians and freight railroads that allow Amtrak to use their tracks and rights of way. The agency currently loses about $500 million a year.
