Georgia Railroads to Ask Commission for Revision of Intrastate Rates
Georgia freight interests prepare a bid to the Georgia Railroad Commission to revise intrastate tariffs after the Interstate Commerce Commission order to raise interstate rates. The Atlanta Freight Bureau plans to oppose intrastate increases while seeking suspension of the interstate rise, with a Southeast meeting in Birmingham. Proposals forecast a statewide rate revision between December 10 and 15, likely raising intrastate rates overall though with long-haul reductions and short-haul increases, hurting Atlanta most as a major shipping center.
