Switching Charge Controversy Is Over
Chicago editors report ending of the switching charge dispute tied to absorption by carriers for shipments to Chicago fruit auctions. The Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul lines announced tariff changes absorbing 8 1/2 percent per hundredweight on cars to Green Fruit Auction, with other lines confirming willingness to absorb charges through interchange. The move follows a yearslong debate among fruit shippers and rail interests over who should pay the switching costs.
