Post Body
Enter your post below.
<p>Staggers Act, passed deregulating the railroads about 1980.</p><p>One example would be railroad can make a contract and haul for a shipper at one price for a length of time. Subject to Laws in place to protect other shippers. Particularly if there are alternative ways to move this freight. These contracts generally are secret and not for the public to know all about specifics.</p><p>Ive just about exhausted my knowledge and thinking about researching it further. For some reason I keep thinking that the ICC was dead at that point with it's now obselete tarriff and rates. Eventually ICC was really dead. But it never got buried deep enough to be truly dead.</p><p>If anything Ive posted here is wrong, fix me and tell me the correct version.</p>
