CSX Corp., the American railroad Harrison began leading earlier this year, issued a statement on Saturday announcing his death. His modest start gave no hint that he would eventually serve as the chief executive of four major railroads: Chicago-based Illinois Central Railroad, Montreal-based Canadian National Railway, Calgary-based Canadian Pacific Railway and Jacksonville, Fla., railway CSX Corp. Institutional investors complained his compensation and perks were excessive and CP Rail moved to scale them back after he left. Luc Jobin, the current CEO of CN Rail, offered his condolences to Harrison’s family and paid tribute to the railway executive. “Hunter was a giant of the railway industry for decades and a transformative figure at CN,” Jobin said in a statement issued Saturday.
