Railroads Face Funding Challenge Under Private Operation
Washington reports that private operation of railroads cannot be restored at existing rates. Union Pacific president Robert Lovett told the House Interstate Commerce Committee that capital for expansion must be attracted without government guarantees. Howard Elliott of Northern Pacific urged a national transportation policy with regulatory reforms and a federal board to aid rate regulation. Both supported federal primacy in regulation, while warning against wage-led inflation and urging price increases or federal funding to avoid bankruptcies.
