R. J. Corman Railroad President Miller to step down

R. J. Corman Railroad Co. President Brian Miller will resign from his position to pursue other interests, the company announced yesterday.

Miller, who has been with the company since 2010, will remain in the post to assist in the search for his successor, according to an R. J. Corman Railroad press release.

"We very much appreciate all that Brian has done for our company," said Ed Quinn, president and chief executive officer of R. J. Railroad Group LLC. "We are sad to see him go, but certainly wish him the best."

Miller joined R. J. Corman after spending 20 years at Norfolk Southern Railway. While at R. J. Corman, the company acquired two short lines, the Texas Line and Carolina Lines; obtained a Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery grant; received two awards from the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association; and each year received Jake Awards for exemplary safety performance records.

Miller leaves the company "in a very strong position for future growth," R. J. Corman officials said.

"The management team will remain in place, working with Mr. Miller and his successor to ensure a smooth transition without any service interruptions to customers," they said.
