Strenuous Fight Begs Georgia Rail Revision
Rail carriers press a Georgia rate overhaul to end discriminatory intrastate pricing, proposing higher class rates for short hauls up to 130 miles and cuts for longer distances. They seek a southern classification to unify rules, extend commodity rate changes for lumber and fertilizer, and align with interstate revisions effective January 1. The Georgia petition urges a mileage tariff to remove interstate inconsistencies and boost small-town jobbing opportunities while offsetting revenue losses from long-haul rate cuts.
