Passenger rates should drop now board of trade may fight
The Frederick Board of Trade plans to oppose higher passenger rates while supporting the 5 percent freight rate increase. They argue railroads used the rate hike as a makeshift to shore up finances, and the group will press for restored train service and fair treatment before both the Public Service Commission and Interstate Commerce Commission. The move could boost Brunswick employment as railroads adopt a more liberal policy, though freight increases will affect large Frederick shippers.
