Pennsylvan ia Railroad faces move to end $10 mileage book deposit
Harrisburg authorities order the state attorney general to sue the Pennsylvania Railroad to abolish a $10 cash deposit on each $29 mileage book sold. The action follows a January complaint by traveling salesmen and Philadelphia and Pittsburgh merchants. The deposit, deemed unconstitutional and discriminatory, mirrors potential broader rate discrimination. The move seeks to stop the railway’s practice as an improper banking-like toll.
