Had I not retired, I'd have been at that hearing, as STB staff. Lots of folks there liked Harrison, who's been 'in' RRs for a long time.

'Since he took over, Harrison has rapidly closed CSX rail yards, lengthened trains, mothballed locomotives, and slashed overtime pay and hundreds of jobs. He also changed the way rail cars are sorted in yards and replaced “unit” trains carrying a single commodity like coal or grain with trains carrying diverse freight.'
