Georgia Railroad Ordered to Correct Reweighing Practices
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled in Rice against the Georgia Railroad Company, confirming the railroad must correct how it reweighs shipments from Jessea Tenn to Augusta Ga. The decision addresses coal transport conditions to Augusta and from Alabama folds, the long and short haul clauses, and that water competition from Charleston does not justify higher tail charges. The ICC also found coal rates from Jessie to Augusta not unreasonable and ordered the railroad to adjust its reweighing methods.
