Investing.com-- Norfolk Southern said on Wednesday that chief executive Alan Shaw will leave the company, effective immediately, after an internal probe found he engaged in a relationship with the company’s chief legal officer.


Shaw will be replaced by Mark George, the company’s executive vice president and chief financial officer. Jason Zampi will serve as acting CFO, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NYSE: NSC) said in an announcement on late-Wednesday.


Shaw’s exit comes just days after the company said it had opened an investigation into potential misconduct by the CEO, following reports that he had engaged in an inappropriate workplace relationship.


Chief legal officer Nabanita Nag will also leave the company.


Shares of the company, which is one of the largest railroad operators in the U.S. by revenue, fell 0.3% in afterhours trading.
