Birmingham Southern Rates Ordered Joint Carload Divisions
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled Birmingham Southern Railway may charge a 6.5 cent per ton division on carload traffic with other carriers and allow joint rates. A switch fee of 2 dollars per car applies for traffic to Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad plant sites at Birmingham and Bessemer. The ruling aims to curb discrimination by allowing lower joint rates for shippers outside Birmingham, with implications for Tennessee company traffic and independent shippers.
