North Carolina Railroad taps Wu for engineering post

The North Carolina Railroad Co. (NCRR) has hired Edward Wu as director of engineering.

Wu has more than 15 years of experience in transportation engineering and commuter- and freight-rail construction. He is joining NCRR after nearly six years at CN, where he managed multiple infrastructure projects involving freight- and passenger-rail service, NCRR officials said in a press release.

Prior to his work at CN, Wu served as a project engineer at AECOM.

At NCRR, Wu's responsibilities will include oversight of projects within the NCRR corridor and management of engineering consultants. He will report to Donald Arant, vice president of engineering.

"His significant expertise in freight and passenger railroad planning and engineering make him a great addition to the team as we continue to partner on rail infrastructure projects both on and off the NCRR corridor," NCRR President Carl Warren said of Wu.
