Appendix To Official Map Of Railroad Freight Classification Territories And Freight Traffic Association Territories PDF Download

Excerpt from Appendix to Official Map of Railroad Freight Classification Territories and Freight Traffic Association Territories: Issued Under Direction of Central Freight Association The extra-territorial applications of the respective classifications are only applicable when through joint rates are in effect from and to points mentioned as subject to the extra-territorial applications, except as may be otherwise specifically provided. In case no extra-territorial application is provided from one classification territory to another, i.e., inter-territorially, the classifications applicable to the shipment will be those governing the rates to and from the basing point or points (as the case may be) on which the through rate is to be made. The basing point may be located on the border of the classification territory or may be an interior junction point. Illustration. - There is no extra-territorial application of the classifications from New York, N. Y., to Omaha, Neb., proper, or vice versa; hence, traffic from New York City to Omaha proper would be subject to the Official Classification to the Mississippi River or an intermediate junction if lower through rates could thus be obtained; and the classification applicable from the Mississippi River or such interior junction (as the case may be) to destination. The same procedure would govern in the opposite direction. The information contained herein as to extra-territorial application of the respective classifications is as complete as it is possible to furnish in a pamphlet of this kind. There are, of course, various exceptions to the general rules and these exceptions will be found or referred to in the tariffs publishing the rates; further, the rules governing the application of the respective classifications are not so definitely established as not to admit of changes. It is therefore important to bear in mind that the application of the respective classifications, extra-territorial or otherwise, is governed absolutely by the tariffs in which the rate is published.
