PORT CLINTON, Pa. — Reading & Northern Railroad has appointed Michael Sharadin as vice president-coal sourcing, the company has announced.
Sharadin rejoins the railroad after serving as an area manager for Amazon Transportation since 2020. There, he managed the transportation department at two fulfillment centers in the Lehigh Valley. He had previously spent more than 20 years with the Reading & Northern; while he worked in various departments, much of his time was within the coal department.
“We are delighted to have Mike rejoin the Reading & Northern family,” said railroad president Wayne Michel. “During his time away he rediscovered his love of railroading and he returns recharged and ready to go to work with the anthracite producers. In Mike we have someone who intimately knows our railroad, knows the coal region, knows the coal fleet, and knows how we do business. Joining with Bill Clark, our senior VP-coal, and Jim Cerulli, our VP-industrial development, who assists us with coal equipment and infrastructure issues, we now have a great team that is ably backed up by our excellent customer service staff.”
Sharadin graduated from Muhlenberg College and has a B.A. in Business Administration. He and his wife Jennifer reside in Kutztown, Pa.
