Understand how the Interstate Commerce Commission reviews rates and practices in rail transportation, and what counts as proof.

This book explains the Commission’s role in regulating interstate commerce, how complaints are filed, and how hearings and evidence come into play. It clarifies the difference between administrative and judicial action and outlines the simple rules that guide pleadings, hearings, and final orders.

Readers will learn what kinds of complaints exist, how informal and formal processes differ, and how the Commission determines whether rates or practices are reasonable or discriminatory. The text also discusses what kinds of proof the Commission finds persuasive and how testimony, contracts, and tariff documents are used in rate cases.

Differences between informal docket handling and formal proceedings
Rules for evidence, documentation, and documentary exhibits
How the Commission assesses reasonableness and discrimination in rates
