Rail car fares to rise sharply 45 percent in first class
Six eastern railroads led by New York Central and Pennsylvania propose a 45 percent hike in first class fares and a 5 percent increase in basic coach fares. ICC action likely months away, with railways arguing losses from passenger services. Baltimore & Ohio not party to the plan. Meanwhile CAB grants Northeast Airlines route expansion from New York to Florida and extends other coastal services. Free China posts a foreign trade surplus of over eight million dollars in early 1956.
