Did the US Supreme Court have the right to regulate railroad fees in the late 19th century?
The Supreme Court didn't administer railroad fees; they asserted Congress had the right to regulate commerce (including fees) between the states under the Article I, Section 8 Interstate Commerce Clause. Depending on the case, Article I, Section 9, may also have been relevant in some instances.
The Supreme Court heard a number of cases involving railroad transit in the 19th and early 20th centuries, so it's difficult to answer this question comprehensively without knowing which case or cases are being referenced.
Article I, Section 8 (excerpt)

No preference shall be given by any regulation of commerce or revenue to the ports of one state over those of another: nor shall vessels bound to, or from, one state, be obliged to enter, clear or pay duties in another.
