Note 463 — Chapter XI · SPECIAL RATE PROBLEMS: THE SOUTHERN BASING POINT SYSTEM; TRANSCONTINENTAL RATES; PORT DIFFERENTIALS, ETC.

This problem is discussed as a form of local discrimination at p. 245, chap. VII, supra, and as a long and short haul question at p. 610, chap. XIX, infra.

It is outlined and examined in detail in our Railway Problems, rev. ed., chap. XXII.
