The correct answer is "put in place a series of regulations for railroad companies."

The Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 put in place a series of regulations for railroad companies.

After many problems with monopolies in America and issues with the railroad companies, the US Congress passed the Interstate Commerce Act on April 7, 1887. Legislators passed the act to regulate many unfair practices of the railroad companies such as excessive prices to farmers to transport their goods. However, the problem was that the government did not add a range for prices. The Act also supported the creation of an agency that could regulate railroad procedures and prices: the Interstate Commerce Commission.
