Railroad Rule Amended to Extend Car Switching Charge
The railroad commission approved an amendment to rule 25 extending the $2 per car switching charge to include transfers within three miles of the switching point. The change aims to reduce disputes by applying the rate to loading in Atlanta and transit to another city side of the same city. Other actions included deferring rule 30 changes, denying Moran station relocation, and granting marble tile rate parity for certain shipments. Risk of demurrage notices updated and public concerns over sidetracks addressed. The piece also notes stock speculation about Southern Securities and Morgan interests in regional rail consolidations.
