Changes Delayed In Railroad Rates
The Interstate Commerce Commission delayed indefinitely the planned class rate adjustments issued in the May freight table decision. The pause aligns with a federal court injunction stopping a 10 percent rate rise in northern and eastern states and a corresponding drop in the south and west. The Utica court ruling came at the request of nine northern states, and the ICC said the injunction governs the timing of the earlier action.
