NOPB elects Tomeka Watson Bryant


The New Orleans Public Belt Railroad Commission (NOPB) has named Tomeka Watson Bryant as its general manager. With this promotion, she becomes the first African American woman to lead a short line railroad in USA.

 

Watson Bryant, a second-generation railroader, brings both operations and commercial experience in the railroad industry to lead NOPB, a Class III railroad on the nation’s fourth largest rail gateway that connects with six Class I railroads and serves Port Nola and local industry.

 

During her five years with NOPB, Watson Bryant oversaw business development and customer service as manager, sales and marketing and pioneered a successful safety programme. She began her career as a trainmaster for the Class I railroads CSX and NOPB. (cj)
