Restructuring and Other Charges Restructuring and Other Charges
During the first quarter of 2024, we commenced voluntary and involuntary separation programs to reduce our management workforce. Through these programs, approximately 350 management employees were separated from service by May 2024. “Restructuring and other charges” in the first six months includes $61 million in “Total railway operating expenses” related to these programs, which primarily consists of separation payments to the impacted management employees.

Additionally, we evaluated the impact of these separation programs on our pension and other postretirement benefit plans, as further discussed in Note 11.
In March 2024, we appointed John Orr as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. “Restructuring and other charges” in the first six months also includes $35 million of costs related to this appointment, including an agreement with his previous employer, Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), that resulted in a $25 million payment and certain commercial considerations to CPKC in exchange for a waiver of his noncompete provisions.
