Why Burlington Won't Cut Wheat Rates to West Coast
Bennie Herboldsheimer of the Nebraska Wheat Growers asks why the Burlington Railroad refuses to lower freight rates on wheat to the West Coast, unlike Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific, Western Pacific and Denver Rio Grande. He notes elevators from Cozad west are already receiving West Coast shipping orders, with Japan becoming a big buyer.
