Excluded are agricultural products outside New England, livestock, and grain. The plan includes a marker 5.75 percent annual return on capital, effectively about 6 percent after taxes. Rail executives voiced mixed reactions, some criticizing timing while others expect higher traffic to offset revenue losses. The move aligns with President Harding's push for voluntary wage and rate reductions to revive the economy.
