Indiana coal rates to follow Illinois increase
Indiana coal rates are set to match Illinois seven cent per ton rise starting December 1, after Illinois railroad officials approved the change. Indiana officials expect a similar adjustment to be filed with the interstate commission, with rates likely to mirror Illinois once the Chicago uplift is in effect. The situation stems from prior disputes over proposed ten cent increases and tariff delays, affecting manufacturers and shippers statewide.
