ARRC is promoting Sean Mesloh to Chief Mechanical Officer, effective March 1. The current CMO is 36-year railroad veteran Don Freestone, who retires February 28. Mesloh began his railroad career in 2000, starting as a Mechanical Laborer. He progressed through the Carman Apprentice levels, earning full Carman status in 2004. By 2006, Mesloh was promoted to Car Supervisor. In 2008, he moved to Fairbanks to serve as General Mechanical Supervisor. In 2015, he was promoted to Director of Fairbanks Operations. He returned to Anchorage in 2019 to accept ARRC’s Manager of Motive Power and Equipment position. “The railroad’s transportation and equipment maintenance operations are closely tied, and a CMO with a solid background in both areas is a great asset. Plus, years spent on the mechanical front line lends credibility and perspective to Sean’s leadership,” said Chief Operating Officer Clark Hopp. “Sean is well-acquainted with our main mechanical and operating hubs in Anchorage and Fairbanks. I know he’ll hit the ground running as the newest member of our executive management team.”
