Examiner urges dismissal of Mississippi Warrior petition
A tentative ICC examiner report calls the petition for a fair revenue split between the Mississippi Warrior barge line and railroads a serious blow to inland waterways. If upheld, the Warrior system will not extend its territory and revenue division will remain as is. Barge line officials have long argued railroads take the lion’s share of through rates, hindering the Warrior’s profitability. Birmingham officials call for a congressional probe into ICC delays and possible discrediting of the waterways system. The examiner notes waterways compete with railroads and should not be forced to cut rates to favor the barge line. Several hearings featured testimony of railroads taking a pound of flesh, burdening the barge line. The case awaits ICC action and typical adoption of the examiner’s report.
