Benjamin W. Heineman (b. 1914) became president of the Chicago and North Western Railway (CNW) in 1956. He led the railroad through a series of difficult cost-cutting measures that returned the railroad to solvency. One of the measures he instituted was to sell shares in the railroad to the railroad's own employees, prompting the "Employee Owned" inscription in the railroad's logo.
