Railroads seek large freight rate hikes to boost income
The Association of Railway Executives told the Interstate Commerce Commission that U.S. railroads need about 1.017 billion dollars more to reach a 6 percent basis under the transportation act. They propose freight rate increases across regions to raise total revenue, while keeping passenger fares unchanged. The plan cites a fall in net railroad income from 1.056 billion in 1918 to 510 million last year, with investment rising over 2 billion. An estimated national railroad valuation was placed at 20.616 billion by Daniel Willard.
