Grain Barges Proposed to Break Rail Rate Discrimination
Omaha grain dealers launch a barge shipment project linking Omaha with St. Louis and river points to pressure railroads for lower freight rates. The plan involves a barge line from Omaha to St. Louis feeding New Orleans and Pittsburgh services, with support from St. Louis, St. Joseph, and Kansas City. If feasible, the Nishna River mouth could support an elevator at Hamburg Riverton, aiding the scheme.
