Railroad Chief to Reduce Role: Southern Pacific Rail Corp. said it began a search to replace Chief Executive Edward L. Moyers, who is paring his activities on the advice of his doctors because of high blood pressure. Moyers, 66, is credited with leading the San Francisco-based railroad to a dramatic rebound last year, when it earned $242 million, contrasted with a $149-million loss the prior year. Southern Pacific said it could be some months before Moyers’ successor is found. In the meantime, the firm promoted three of its senior managers to help Moyers in the transition.
