Foot retiring from Canadian Pacific
Canadian Pacific said Tuesday that Neal Foot, its executive vice-president of operations, will retire from the railroad company after more than 35 years, effective July 1.
Brock Winter, the railroad’s senior vice president of operations, will assume Foot’s responsibilities from April 3, when Foot commences pre-retirement leave.
During his career, Foot has also participated in a number of industry associations. He was most recently chairman of the Safety and Operations Management Committee (SOMC) of the American Association of Railroads, vice-chairman of the SOMC of the Railway Association of Canada and a member of the Board of Directors of the Transportation Technology Center Inc.
“Neal has made outstanding contributions to Canadian Pacific throughout his career,” said Fred Green, Canadian Pacific’s president and chief executive officer. “His leadership has influenced the way we operate our railway. His drive to implement process engineering and his fresh approach to some of our recent cooperative co-production agreements with other railways have been groundbreaking.”
