A railroad chief operating officer has three overriding concerns. One is providing a service that customers want. Another is operating a cost-efficient railroad. Most important is accomplishing both of these safely. Railway Age's 2008 Railroader of the Year, Norfolk Southern Vice Chairman and Chief Operations Officer Stephen C. Tobias, is a master of all three, a true thoroughbred among operating officers.
