Robert Krebs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Robert D. Krebs has headed three major United States railroads in succession, leading the Southern Pacific when it was acquired by Santa Fe Industries, rising to lead the resulting Santa Fe Pacific Corporation, and finally being chosen to head the new Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) when Santa Fe Pacific (the holding company for the Santa Fe railroad) merged with Burlington Northern.
He retired as CEO of BNSF in 2000 and left the board when he retired as chairman on April 17, 2002.[1]
On May 13, 2005, Krebs joined the Board of Directors for RailPower Technologies,[2] a position from which he subsequently resigned on September 9, 2005, citing personal reasons.[3]
