It highlights new procedural guidance, declaring states may examine overall business within their borders, not just isolated interstate profits, to judge reasonableness of rates. It stresses practical impact, with western states watching for realigned control over railroad charges and profits.

Pass agreements voided by federal appeals court ruling
St Louis March 2. A United States court of appeals decision voids provisional railroad pass terms that try to excuse a company from liability after an accident.
