The Central Maine & Québec Railway (CMQ) has announced two appointments in the New Year.  

CMQ named Chad Mowery as its new vice president of operations, which was effective Jan 1, and J. Wesley Logan has been appointed as general manager of operations, effective Jan. 15.

Mowery initially joined CMQ in March 2015 as general manager, CMQ said, adding that he had 16 years of experience in transportation, engineering and mechanical management positions with railroads owned by shortline holding company RailAmerica and Genesee & Wyoming, its successor.

Logan has joined CMQ after more than 10 years of operations management experience at Canadian properties owned by RailAmerica and Genesee & Wyoming, CMQ said. He most recently worked at the Goderich-Exeter Railway and the Southern Ontario Railway.

Logan will be based at the CMQ’s offices in Farnham, Québec, the railroad said.

“Chad has earned this promotion. It recognizes his hard work, broad knowledge and outstanding leadership that he’s demonstrated over the years,” said CMQ President Ryan Ratledge. “We also want to welcome Wes. I am truly excited to be working with him again. His experience and familiarity with Canadian rail operations is particularly valuable.”
