Norwegian State Railways

The name of the position was changed from director-general to chief executive officer.[13] In February 1990, after thirteen months in the job, he resigned, citing lack of freedom from political regulations as the reason.[14] Leif Thue and the Union of Railway Workers stated that they did "not lament" his resignation.[15]
