CSX names Rhodes to oversee Virginia state and government affairs

CSX Transportation recently appointed Bryan Rhodes as regional vice president - state and government affairs in Virginia. He will be responsible for the Class I's executive branch, legislative and community initiatives in the commonwealth, and oversee similar efforts in Maryland and Delaware.

Prior to joining CSX, Rhodes served as Virginia's secretary of public safety, where he provided oversight for 11 state agencies and advised the governor on public safety policy issues. He previously served as deputy secretary of public safety, and as commissioner of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.

"Bryan's extensive background in public safety is an ideal complement to CSX's commitment to running an industry-leading safe, reliable railroad," said CSX Vice President - State and Government Affairs Quintin Kendall, to whom Rhodes will report.
