Indiana rail commission orders gravel rate cut for S I railroad
The Indiana railroad commission on Tuesday ordered the Southern Indiana railroad to reduce gravel rates from Elliston to Odon and Union Switch from sixty cents to no more than twenty five cents per cubic yard. The case, John D. Moore & Co. vs S I railroad, notes Elliston gravel beds and local lines on the Evansville Indianapolis road with joint rates to Odon. The commission hints at a statewide inquiry into excessive road material freight rates and retains jurisdiction after the inquiry finalizes. Faith & Faith represented Moore Co. in the proceedings.
