Short Line Railroads Seek Freight Rate Revisions in Georgia
A committee of traffic officers from twenty four Georgia short line railroads appeared before the Georgia Railroad Commission to seek rate revisions aligned with trunk lines. They request adoption of the Southern Classification and present a scale showing higher rates for shorter hauls while maintaining parity with Class C D changes. The petition lists numerous railroads including Augusta Southern Bowdon Savannah & Northwestern and Georgia Northern among others.
