I was fortunate to have been working for a large rail shipper at the time of rail deregulation in 1980 and was able to retrieve quite a few boxes of what had become useless tariffs.

Ah the good old days of a room full of railroad tariffs. An hour of looking for an applicable rate and then finding the notation, "Not valid between August 1 and August 31". One instance that proved deregulation was long over due was when the UP filed(circa 1972) a unit train rate from Los Angeles to Bonner Springs. Commodity? Yak fat. And the ICC approved it.
