Higher tariffs filed by railroads amid federal review
Railroads and the Interstate Commerce Commission began filing tens of thousands of tariffs proposing a flat 5 to 6 percent rate increase on freight, with many lines voluntarily suspending adjustments awaiting a preliminary hearing likely by December. The effort involves 82 roads across the Central Freight Association, costing about 300000 dollars to prepare. Daniel Willard, B and O president, argues the rise is needed to fund transportation capacity for national development amid higher operating costs and capital outlays.
