Two-Cent Passenger Rates and Railways Case Review
L E Johnson of the Norfolk and Western outlines a West Virginia Supreme Court ruling on two cent passenger rates. He notes states had set two cent rates without cost studies, causing railroad losses from passenger service but gains claimed from freight. The court rejected forced cross-subsidies, saying railways must cover cost from the specific traffic. Surplus from reasonable rates belongs to the railway, while unreasonable rates should be cut. The decision upholds fair dealing rules for railways with no cross-subsidies.
