Evening Republican, Volume 59, Number 66, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 April 1917 — Regulating the Railroads. [ARTICLE]

Regulating the Railroads.

In three states it is illegal for a railroad having repair shops within the border to do repairing in other states. Fifteen states have set down the minimum freight movement which will be allowed on lines within the state. A number of states specify the size of the railroad train crews. A number have conflicting laws and ordinances about whistles and bells and rates of speed. All the states are said to have regulated the size, brilliance and radiating distance Of headlights.—Toledo Blade. . -
