Rail commission cuts Illinois switching charges nationwide
The Illinois Railroad and Warehouse Commissioners set a new switching schedule aiming to save shippers about 1.5 million dollars yearly. Chicago rates drop from 11 to 6 per car, outer areas from 2.50 to about 2, with dramatic cuts like a hospital move from 17 to 2 per car for a one mile haul. The plan defines Chicago Districts and distinct switching rights after extensive hearings.
