Anacostia Rail Holdings Company (ARH) has named Andrew Fox managing director, where he will work on special projects for Anacostia and its operating companies.

 

Fox joined Anacostia in 1996. The company notes that he was instrumental in the formation of Pacific Harbor Line (PHL), which provides rail services to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. He was president of PHL from 1997 to 2010 and joined Anacostia’s affiliate Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad in August 2010 where he served as chief executive officer until July 2016.

“I am excited by the opportunity to promote the interests of all of ARH companies after having led individual railroads,” Fox said.

In addition to his roles at Anacostia, Fox has held posts as president of the California Railroad Association, director of the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association and member of the Safety and Operations Management Committee of Association of American Railroads.

Fox joined Anacostia following a 23-year career with Southern Pacific, where he held various posts in the operating, finance and executive departments.

“Andrew Fox has been a transformational leader at two of our most important operating companies. We are pleased that he will continue to make senior-level contributions to Anacostia,” said Peter Gilbertson, president of Anacostia Rail Holdings.
