Railroads Cut Minimum Livestock Carload to 10000 Pounds
Iowa railroads will set a new minimum carload rate of 10000 pounds for livestock shipments starting Oct 5 in a bid to match truck competition. The change allows smaller shippers to assemble mixed carloads, replacing earlier requirements of 19000 to 22000 pounds for hogs and other livestock.
