AAR Takes STB Small Rate Dispute Rule to Court

The Association of American Railroads is challenging in court a recent U.S. Surface Transportation Board ruling on small rate cases.

The trade association asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to review the rule which requires all seven Class 1 railroads to agree to an arbitration process before it can become effective.

The STB recently turned down a request by four Class 1 carriers to stay implementation of the rule.
