Interstate rail classification push aims at uniform law
State railroad commissioners largely favor a universal nationwide classification to regulate rail freight. They will memorialize Congress to empower the Interstate Commerce Commission to enforce a single system. Currently three regional classifications divide lines north of the Potomac and Ohio, south of those rivers, and west of the Mississippi. The Ohio commission member chairs the classification committee and will prepare a report with reasons to support a uniform law.
