Scott previously served as executive vice president and chief operating officer at Union Pacific before retiring and joining the OmniTRAX board in 2019.
In a news release, OmniTRAX said Scott will be expected to help the company shape its new growth strategy as the regional and short-line operating company accelerates its adoption of rail-based supply chains.
OmniTRAX acquired added three new rail properties last year and now owns 23 properties that interchange freight with seven Class Is throughout North America.
Among those is he Cleveland and Cuyahoga Railway, which comprises the former Cleveland Commercial, and the Cleveland Port Railway.
