 His resume is a mile long and I dont know anyone who has more passion and love for the railroad industry.

I think this would be a very bad idea seeing how Ed Ellis didn't pay attention to the contract terms for the Hoosier State allowing the state of Indiana and Amtrak to screw him over.  You got to pay attention to the contracts when you are running a business.

Outside of his own public comments.....what has he accomplished at any of his past assignments that has been noteworthy?

First question an Executive Recruiter wil ask, they won't care how long the resume is.   Performance matters more than long-winded explanations.
