Am glad that somebody out there is seeing this overzealous lunatic for who he is.

  It’s almost unbelievable to me and many others that CSX stockholders would go along with Hunter Harrison’s financial demands - God’s gift to railroading - and “work from home” on top of that.  He reminds me of the 19th century robber barons such as Jay Gould and Jim Fiske. Just  different century. An outsider might define this as pure extortion.  A good manager could do the same job at a third of the salary.  Even the basic salary of the president of the United States is only $400,000 and certainly is a much more responsible position than running a railroad. Give a break!  Poor guy would starve to death in retirement if he didn’t get the $80 million in retirement benefits he claimed CP Rail refused to pay him. At least they have common sense.  I was on the verge of purchasing some CSX stock, but not as long as such lunacy is being practiced. Keith Creel has been very busy picking up the pieces in the wake of Harrison’s departure. Could essentially the same thing occur after Harrison has raped CSX?
