End of the line for a transport executive? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

railhead

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'end' is the definition.
(I know that railhead is a type of end)

'line for a transport executive?' is the wordplay.
'line' becomes 'rail' (synonyms).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a transport executive?' becomes 'head' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rail'+'head'='RAILHEAD'

'of the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for railhead that I've seen before include "You've reached the end of the line here" , "Terminal of the track" , "end of the line - with 26d" , "End of the train line" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
