Railroads Renew Fight for Rate Increase Before Utilities Board
In Columbus on September 6 the railroads pressed for a 15 percent freight-rate hike at a hearing before the Ohio Public Utilities Commission. Big lines and the Onlo Shippers' association urged opposing views, with railroads arguing Ohio rates are low compared to neighboring districts and profits recovered 5.5 percent despite last year’s abnormal business. Objectors warn increases could reach 19 to 200 percent and seek suspension to allow time for investigation and adjustment to reasonable tariffs.
