The Freight Rate Structure on Soviet Railroads
分析了苏联铁路货运费率结构及其历年变化，指出当前费率表与西方观念基本一致，但运输成本仍是最重要因素，且不再像过去那样特别优待长途运输、特定区域或商品。
This paper analyzes the Soviet Union's railroad freight rate structure and describes the changes which have occurred in it through the years. The current rate schedule largely conforms with western notions on freight rates and is determined by many of the same factors, although shipping cost remains of paramount importance. Also, the rate structure no longer specifically favors longer hauls, particular regions, or individual commodities as much as it did in the past.
