Idaho Shippers Saved Expense By Commission
Idaho shippers were spared a planned $100,000 annual freight bill after the State Public Utilities Commission denied five class 1 railroad applications for new rates. The vote blocks increases on intra state freight for coal gas salt sugar lumber sand gravel and other goods, with Oregon Short Line and four other railways seeking higher schedules.
