ICLE was cited in a piece from the Reason Foundation about mandatory reciprocal rail switching. You can read the full piece here.

I am hardly alone in warning of the dangers of mandatory reciprocal switching. In addition to Reason Foundation, analysts with the American Enterprise Institute, Cato Institute, Competitive Enterprise Institute, Hoover Institution, International Center for Law and Economics, Mercatus Center, and numerous other free-market think tanks have come out against it. This list includes the R Street Institute, which in the past called mandatory reciprocal switching “a solution in search of a problem” and wrote that arguments in its favor are “based on a pair of faulty assumptions.” While different analysts can hold different views within the same organization, I humbly suggest that the R Street Institute had it right the first time.
