Title: ANALYSIS OF RAIL-WATER PRICE COMPETITION
Accession Number: 00176467
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The pricing debate between the water carriers and the railroads is examined. Water carriers assert that railroads discriminate against them in pricing, and railroads assert that they price in a manner that will permit them to hold on to traffic that would otherwise be lost to their unregulated competitors. Both assert that their pricing practices benefit society. Competitive rail pricing practices and their effects on water carriers, shippers, railroads, and the general public are discussed. /Author/
