Tariffs of 1962
1967 Supreme Court decision
American Trucking Assns. v. A., T. & S.F. R. Co., 387 U.S. 397 (1967)
"What [those who object to open-tariff TOFC] overlook is that all TOFC service is inherently bimodal, in that its basic characteristic is the combination of the inherent advantages of rail and motor transportation. . . ."
322 I.C.C. at 329. Thus, the District Court's view of the statutory compartmentalization of transportation as either rail or motor or water fails to recognize the primary fact about TOFC, which, in any of its varieties, cannot be made to fit the District Court's rigid modal conceptualization .
[Footnote 11]
Cf. United States v. Rock Island Co., 340 U. S. 419, 340 U. S. 433 (1951):
"Complete rail domination [over motor transportation] was not envisaged as a way to preserve the inherent advantages of each form of transportation."
