General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.

Union Pacific Railroad Co. v. United States No. 98 Argued March 23, 1960 Decided April 4, 1960 362 U.S. 327
APPEAL FROM THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF IOWA
Syllabus
In order to afford shippers additional time to find a market for lumber while in transit, appellant railroad renders a 14-day delayed lumber service over a route ordinarily requiring from two to four days. In doing so, it incurs additional operational problems and costs not present in its fast freight service and not included in its published tariff.
Held: such delayed service constitutes the furnishing of additional "privileges or facilities," within the meaning of § 6(7) of the Interstate Commerce Act, and must be published and filed in appellant’s tariff. Pp. 327-328.
173 F.Supp. 397 affirmed.
