Cando Rail & Terminals Expands Executive Leadership Team in Planned Succession

Executive team expansion reflects Cando’s commitment to exemplary service delivery and continuous growth.

WINNIPEG, MB – May 5, 2025 – Cando Rail & Terminals, one of North America’s largest owners and operators of first and last mile rail infrastructure, is pleased to announce the appointment of Paul Duncan as the company’s new Chief Operating Officer.

Duncan has more than 22 years of Class I railway industry experience. Most recently, he served as Norfolk Southern’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer with leadership responsibilities for Transportation, Network Planning, Network Operations, Engineering, Mechanical, Safety, and NS Police. During his tenure with NS, safety and service improved substantially. Previous to joining NS in 2022, Duncan worked at BNSF Railway for more than 19 years with roles of increasing responsibility within Intermodal, Transportation, Network Operations, Capacity Planning, and Service Design.

“Paul is extremely well positioned to lead our Service Delivery and Infrastructure teams across North America. His extensive service expertise, focus on safety culture, and proven Class I rail record provide tremendous resources to improve Cando’s operating capabilities as we continue to grow with our customers.” – Brian Cornick, President & CEO, Cando Rail & Terminals

“Cando’s unique first and last mile model has enhanced service, capacity, and growth for customers in the rail supply chain. With an award-winning safety culture and extensive growth plans, Cando is well positioned to further leverage its first and last mile rail operating experience with its strategically located terminals and investments to enhance customers’ rail service to drive further growth. I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunities ahead. I look forward to working closely with Cando’s talented railroaders and leadership team as we take Cando to the next level of safety, service, and growth with our partners in the supply chain.” – Paul Duncan, Chief Operating Officer, Cando Rail & Terminals

Previous to hiring Duncan, Cando’s Chief Commercial Officer Steve Bromley had announced his intention to retire by the end of 2025. Steve has been leading the company’s commercial growth initiatives and operations teams. With his retirement, Cando is expanding Bromley’s executive role into two positions: Chief Operating Officer and Chief Commercial Officer.

“With a passion for continuous improvement, unparalleled insight into the rail industry, and an aptitude for forging strong customer partnerships, Steve has been instrumental in the success and growth of Cando since joining the company in 2013. On behalf of everyone at Cando and the Board, I would like to thank Steve for his dedicated service to Cando over the last 12 years. With Steve’s departure, we are expanding our executive team which highlights Cando’s dedication to provide exemplary service delivery and continuous growth.” – Brian Cornick, President & CEO, Cando Rail & Terminals

For the remainder of 2025, Bromley will work alongside Duncan to ensure a seamless transition and will also provide support as the company continues its executive search for the position of CCO.

Duncan, who resides in Texas, will lead Cando’s Service Delivery and Infrastructure divisions. He is a graduate of Iowa State University with a BS in Transportation Logistics.
