Tariffs have mostly gone away with deregulation and contracts between the carriers and shippers are the new way to conduct business. These are private documents so no one else knows what any other shipper is paying to move their freight. You have to negotiate the best rate you can and then decide if it is worth it to ship via rail.---------- <br /> <br />Yes but when is the railroad required to publi***he tarrif. Example RR museum want to move a caboose on XYZ railroad. XYZ Railroad has never moved a caboose so RR Museum and XYZ comes up with a contract. But Under ol ICC rules the RR has to publi***he tarrif. What changed so that diifrent shippers pay diffrent rates to move the same stuff the the same places
