Text
Before the adoption of the rates, the department shall notify the railroad corporations
interested in the schedule of joint rates fixed, and give them a reasonable time to agree
upon a division of the charges provided. If the corporations fail to agree upon a division,
and to notify the department of their agreement, the department shall, after a hearing
conducted by the department of inspections, appeals, and licensing, decide the rates, taking
into consideration the value of terminal facilities and all the circumstances of the haul,
and the division so determined by it is, in all controversies or actions between the railroad
corporations interested, prima facie evidence of a just and reasonable division.
