Decisions Against Shippers Over Switching Charges Across Rail Lines
The Interstate Commerce Commission ruled against Lansby-Harry Coal and Grain Co in two actions against Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe for switching fees. It held a common carrier need not provide terminal access to rival carriers and that charges to deliver to another line remain lawful. In a separate case against Missouri Pacific, the commission dismissed the complaint over allegedly unjust rates from a mine at Jewett Kansas to Kansas City Missouri, noting no justification to change the rate.
