CSX CEO Steve Angel attributes the railroad’s flat freight volume growth to stagnant global industrial production rather than issues unique to the rail industry.

Angel also shared his perspective on the rail industry’s integral role and cultural depth, and discussed navigating the potential risks and opportunities arising from industry consolidation.
