Excerpt from Freight Rates: Southern Territory The term Southern Territory, as it is used herein, includes that territory lying south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers and east of the Mississippi River. For rate-making purposes this territory is sub-divided into four sections - the Southeastern (which is the largest in point of area, railroad mileage, and volume of traffic), the Mississippi Valley, the Carolina, and the Kentucky Tennessee. This sub-division came about through varia tions in the geographical and competitive conditions, as well as in the separate interests Of the several rail roads serving, respectively, these sections.
