Lake Lines Freed From Rail Control
The Interstate Commerce Commission orders the end of railroad owned lake steamboat lines on the Great Lakes effective December 1. The move aims to restore competition, lower shipping costs, and open the lake routes to independent operators as lake traffic gains back its natural advantages. The panel rejected rail gains as public benefit, noting higher costs under joint ownership and urging disposal to highest bidders.
