Hepburn ActThe Hepburn Act of 1906 gave the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) the power to force railroads to obey orders. If the railroads protested, the ICC's conditions would be in effect until the outcome of litigation said otherwise. By the Hepburn Act, the ICC's authority was extended to cover bridges, terminalss, ferries, sleeping cars, and express companies.See also
