Private Branch Likely Declared Common Carrier
A Maury county phosphate firm petitions Tennessee Railroad Commission to declare the Mt Pleasant Arrow Mines branch of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad a common carrier. The complaint claims the line, now run by L N and linked to Virginia Carolina Chemical and Charleston Mining, refuses to transport the complainant’s rock, forcing costly wagon hauls and limiting shipments. If recognized as a common carrier, broader mine access could follow.
