ICC Limits Covered Hopper Cars In Unit Grain Trains
The Interstate Commerce Commission issued a service order restricting use of jumbo covered hopper cars in unit grain train services to no more than 25 percent of a carrier's ownership. The order, defining unit grain trains as 50 or more hoppers from a single origin to a single destination, aims to more equitably distribute cars to aid smaller shippers amid railcar shortages caused by rising U.S. grain exports. A separate order also caps free time for detained cars at ports at 72 hours and sets minimum detention rates for export and import traffic at ocean Great Lakes and river ports.
