Twelve Railroads Win Authority to Raise Intra State Rates
The Public Service Commission granted twelve West Virginia railroads authority to raise intra state freight rates by six percent on most commodities. The order aligns with ICC directives for higher interstate rates while excluding limestone ground and crushed stone used for agricultural purposes from the boost. The PSC rejected a larger increase, noting it would shift coal and coke tonnage to alternatives, leaving railroads with little gain. Protest groups and large industrial firms had urged higher coal and coke rates.
