Kelly has served on the board for more than 16 years, including 10 years as either presiding director or chairman.
“Particularly over these past two unprecedented years, Ned’s leadership has been principled, judicious and no less than extraordinarily consequential. We are indebted for his stepping up to extend his service through this critical period and will miss him,” said Paul C. Hilal, vice chairman of the board.
Zillmer was among five new directors appointed to the CSX board in March 2017 as part of an agreement with Mantle Ridge LP. Zillmer formerly was the chief executive of Univar.
“He is an expert in strategies for business optimization and process improvement. His operational transformation of Allied Waste Industries became an industry benchmark,” CSX said.
Tim Wickmann has joined the World Shipping Council as its managing director.

He will work at WSC’s new office in Singpore. WSC also has offices in Brussels and Washington, D.C.
