Norfolk Southern has fired its CEO, Alan Shaw, due to a consensual relationship with the company's chief legal officer. Although this leadership change follows investigations into Shaw's conduct, the company stated it is not linked to its financial performance. Shaw's tenure faced challenges including a major train derailment and activist investor involvement. He has been with Norfolk Southern for 30 years.
