At a Session of the Interstate Commerce Commission, Divi sion 3, held at its office in Washington, D. C., on the 21st day of March, A, D., 1936.
The subject of routing of freight traffic being under con sideration, and it appearing to the Commissi on that an emergency exists, upon the lines of all carriers by railroad in the New England States subject to the Interstate Commerce Act, which requires immediate action; and that each of such carriers by reason of interruption of traffic through flood con ditions in certain of the New England States is unable to transport the traffic offered it so as to properly serve the public.
Therefore, in order to best promote the service in the interest of the public and the commerce of the people, it is ordered and directed:
1. That from and after March 21, 1936, and until the further order or direction of this Commission, all said com mon carriers by railroad operating within the New England States, or connecting with other railroads operating within such States be, and they are hereby, directed to forward traffic having origin or destination in, or ordinarily moving through, the New England States by routes most available to expedite its movement and prevent congestion, without regard to the routing thereof made by shippers or by carriers from which the traffic is received, or to the ownership of the cars, and that all rules, regulations, and practices of said carriers with respect to car service are hereby suspended and superseded insofar only as conflicting with the directions hereby made.
2. That, inasmuch as such disregard of routing is deemed to be due to carriers disability, the rates applicable to traffic so forwarded by routes other than those designated by ship pers, or by carriers from which the traffic is received, shall be the rates which were applicable at date of shipment over the routes so designated.
3. That in each instance where the traffic is routed, or rerouted, by carriers by railroad under the authority of this order the carriers responsible for such routing, or rerouting, shall, within 24 hours thereafter, deposit in the United States mail a notice addressed to the consignee of the traffic stat ing the car numbers and initials, places and dates of ship ment, the routing and respective routes over which the traffic is moving, and that charges for the transportation of the traffic, including transportation and schedules of rates, fares, and charges, as those terms are defined in said act, will be the same as they would have been if suclTrouting or rerouting had not taken place.
4. That, -in the case of shipments in private cars which are subject to equalization of empty mileage, and also of fruits and vegetables, live poultry, and other shipments cus tomarily reconsigned upon instructions of the consignor, a
telegraphic notice of the diversion shall be sent to the con signor by the carrier responsible therefor.
5. That in executing the directions of the Commission con tained in this order the common carriers involved shall proceed without reference to contracts, agreements, or ar rangements now existing between them with reference to the divisions of the rates of transportation applicable to said traffic; that such divisions shall be, during the time this order remains in force, voluntarily agreed upon by and between said carriers, and that, upon failure of the carriers to so agree, said divisions shall be hereafter fixed by the Commission in accordance with pertinent authority conferred upon it by said act.
6. That copies of this order and direction be served upon the following-named carriers by railroad operating in the New England States and those connecting therewith, subject to the Interstate Commerce Act, viz: Bangor and Aroostook Railroad Company; Barre and Chelsea Railroad Company;
