Seaboard Win in Georgia Supreme Court on Through Rates
The Georgia Supreme Court ruled in favor of Seaboard Air Line in its suit against Western and Atlantic and the Nashville Chattanooga and St. Louis railroads. The decision holds that under a valuable contract for interchange of through and local business, the other railroads cannot deprive Seaboard and its connections of through rates and through proportions of rates. The ruling constrains through freight practices during the contract term and bars withholding concessions on shipments beyond the Seaboard line to disadvantage the Seaboard.
