Iowa Freight Rates Go Up September 1
The Iowa Railroad Commission announces temporary freight rate increases of 8 to 25 percent on intra state shipments set to take effect within ten days, probably by August 26 or no later than September 1. Passenger rates are not affected as the commission lacks authority to act on them. Soft coal and allied commodities will follow the same basis as shale products, accounting for government-set adjustments.
