Rate Hearing At Richmond Explains Virginia Rail Rates
Representatives of steam railway companies spoke before the State corporation commission in Richmond to justify a general 2 cent passenger rate in Virginia. W Bronson of Chesapeake and Ohio Railway testified the company’s max is 3 cents per mile, with Warm Springs and Craig Valley at 4 cents. He described rate factors including population, commerce and competition, noting suburban commutation falls to half a cent per mile. Virginia’s sparse population is cited to compare with New York rates.
