An Important Itnlc.
A very important rule was rendered by
the railroad commission a day or two
ago, bearing upon the interchange railroads. of
business in Georgia between
It is a rule, too, that is calculated to
hasten freights destined to long trans¬
portation, as it forces to time those lines
neglecting and delaying freights at con¬
necting points with other roads. Fol¬
lowing is the texts of thc new rules thus
applying:
1. Railroads shall without delay
switch off and deliver to any connecting
road of the same gauge all cars consigned
to points on or beyond such connecting
roads.
2. They shall, at the terminus of any
intermediate points without obstructions
or delay, receive from the connecting
road of the same gauge, when offered, all
cars consigned to any point on the road
to which the same is ofiered, or any con¬
necting road with said road to which it
is destined, and to transport said cars to
their destination with reasonable dili¬
gence. No railroad shall discriminate in its
3.
rates or tariffs of freight in favor of any
line or route connected with it, as against
any other line or route, nor when a part of
its own line is sought to be run in con¬
nection with any other route, shall such
railroad discriminate against such con¬
necting line in favor of the balance of its
own Ifue, but said railroad shall have the
same rates for all, and shall afford the
usual and like customary facilities for the
interchange of freight to patrons of each
and all lines alike.
