The charges on carload shipments of apples, pears, or peaches, 

 straight or mixed carloads, passing over two or more lines of railroads 

 within the state shall be 80 per cent of the sum of the local charges as 

 herein provided by the short line track connection, junction point for 

 distance each railroad hauls the car. 



EXAMPLE. 



Bulk apples, C. L., Railway A, 45 miles 7. cents 



Bulk apples, C. L., Railway B, 100 miles 9.75 cents 



Total, 145 miles 16.75 cents 



Eighty per cent of 16.75 cents, the sum of the locals, would be 13.4

When the application of the 80 per cent rule would make the rate 

 less than the continuous mileage rate it is herein provided that the 

 continuous mileage rate would be the joint rate. 



EXAMPLE. 



Bulk apples, C. L., 10 miles, rate 5.25 cents 



Bulk apples, C. L., 400 miles, rate 22.75 cents 



Total, 410 miles 28.00 cents 



Eighty per cent of 28 cents, the sum of the locals, is 22.40, while 

 the continuous mileage rate for 410 miles, as herein provided, is 22.75 

 cents, which would be the joint through rate. 



The transfer charges on all carload shipments shall be absorbed by

 loads may be stored in transit for a period not to exceed six months

 rate charges to be adjusted between the carriers when the car is
