ARTICLE 1

BEGINNING AND ENDING OF A DAY

In all classes of service, an engineer's time will commence at the time he is required to report for duty, and shall continue until the time the engine is placed on the designated track or he is relieved at terminal. Engineers are relieved when registering in.

Engineer's time shall be continuous between terminals unless tied up under the provisions of the law limiting the hours of service. Road engineers shall 1 not be tied up between their terminals except at points where food and lodging can be procured. If engineer watches engine he will be paid for such time a the rate of 12 1/2 miles per hour.

For engineers operating in pool freight and passenger service the Company shall specify a point for going on and off duty at each terminal, both of which points shall be the same. It is understood, however, that the on- and off-duty points for engineers operating in pool freight service need not be the same as the on- and off-duty points for engineers operating in passenger service.

An engineer returning to his home terminal in service other than that in which he departed from his home terminal will be paid continuously from the time assuming duty on the last trip until return to point where he assumed duty at his home terminal.

Engineers deadheading terminal to terminal shall be allowed the actual mlles deadheaded with a minimum of 100 miles at the rate stipulated in Article 28 plus the minimum mlles necessary to travel to and from the specified on- and off-duty point of his assignment, except where the total mlles traveled is less than 100 mlles he shall only be allowed 100 mlles.

NOTE: The provisions of this paragraph are not applicable to engineers deadheaded from a terminal to fill a vacancy on an assignment with a home terminal at another location or returning therefrom.

Except in yard service, an extra engineer called to fill a vacancy on an assignment with on- and off-duty point in the terminal at a point other than the point where the board is maintained, shall be allowed actual mileage traveled between such point and the on- and off-duty point for assignment for which called, said allowance shall be in addition to any other compensation payable for the day or trip on the assignment. Time of day or trip on assignment shall be computed from time assuming duty at on- and off-duty point of said assignment to time relieved from duty at that point.

Article 2

PASSENGER SERVICE

Basic Day

SECTION 1. One hundred miles or less (straight away or turnaround), five hours or less, except as provided in Section 1(a), Article 6, shall constitute a day's work; mlles in excess of 100 will be paid for at the mileage rate provided, according to weight of engine.

Valley Districts

SECTION 2. On all parts of the System, excepting between points as noted in Section 3, the minimum rates of wages per day of an engineer shall be as specified in Appendix "A."

Mountain Districts

SECTION 3. Between Eugene and Dunsmuir via Klamath Falls; Klamath Falls and Wendel, including Lakeview Branch; Roseburg and Gerber: Sacramento and Sparks; Bakersfield and Los Angeles; Mojave and Lone Pine; Palmdale and Colton; Los Angeles and Indio, including branches between Los Angeles and Indio, the minimum rates of wages per day of an engineer shall be as specified in Appendix "A." Minimum Daily Guarantee

SECTION 4. (a) In all passenger service, the earnings from mileage, overtime or other rules applicable, for each day service is performed, shall be not less than the rate specified in Appendix "A."

In applying the minimum rate referred to above for engineers in passenger service, it is intended that on assignments where the men run so as to make only the equivalent of a single trip in one

direction each day, they shall be paid the guaranteed minimum for each single trip.

For example: On a 100-mlle division men double the road Monday, lay over Tuesday, double Wednesday, and lay over Thursday, etc. They should be allowed the minimum for each leg of their turnaround trip.

On the same division other crews double the road Monday and Tuesday, and lay over Wednesday, double Thursday and Friday, and lay over Saturday. These men make the equivalent of four single trios every three days, and therefore would not be entitled to the minimum for each trip.

Question 6:

May amounts earned under overtime rule, terminal delay, backouts, etc., be applied against these guarantees?

Decision: Yes.

Question 7:

Are former guarantees higher than provided by this Section maintained?

Decision: Yes.

Question 8:

May runs of under 80 miles in each direction be placed on a one-way basis and a minimum day allowed in each direction?

Decision: Yes, if definitely assigned, in which case overtime rules applicable to through passenger service in effect shall apply.

Rates for Electric and Gasoline Passenger Service

(b) Engineers employed on electric locomotives in passenger service to be paid the rates shown in Appendix "A." In the application of the rates for various driver weights in electric locomotive service, the total weight on drivers of all units operated by one engine crew shall be the basis for establishing the rate.

(c) Electric car service, whether operated in multiple unit or single unit, to be paid minimum rate as specified in Appendix "A."

Question 11, Interpretation NO. 1, supplement No. 24:

Do the minimum earnings fixed by Section 4(a) also apply in short turnaround electric passenger service whether operated by electric locomotive or multiple unit?

Decision: Yes.

(d) All motor cars used in passenger service operated under train rules by engineers, regardless of whether operated by gasoline, steam, electricity, or other motive power, to be paid minimum rate as specified in Appendix "A."

SECTION 5. When engineers in passenger service are required to double on grades or run for fuel or water, ten miles will be allowed for each double. When actual mileage exceeds ten, actual miles will be allowed, such mileage to be added to other mileage made on trip; when mileage in the aggregate exceeds 100, time consumed doubling will not be counted in computing overtime.

ARTICLE 3

FREIGHT SERVICE

Basic Day

SECTION 1. In all classes of service covered by Article 3, 100 miles or less, eight hours or less (straightaway or turnaround), shall constitute a day's work; miles in excess of 100 will be paid for at the mileage rates provided, according to weight of engine or other power used.

Question 47:

Certain railroads formerly paid 100 miles between terminals notwithstanding the distance may have been less than 100 miles. Does this section permit operating turnarounds turning at terminal on continuous time and mileage?

Decision: No. Schedule Rules and accepted practices will govern. Valley Districts

SECTION 2. (a) Minimum rates of pay on all parts of the System, excepting between points as noted in Section 3, for engineers in through and irregular freight, pusher, helper, mine run or roustabout, belt line or transfer, work, wreck construction, snow plow, circus trains, trains established for the exclusive purpose of handling milk

and all other unclassified services shall be as specified in Appendix "A."

NOTE: The terms "pusher" and "helper" are synonymous, meaning "helper service."

Question 31:

Where mine run, belt line, or transfer service, pusher and helper service, etc., was formerly paid yard rates, and is by this Article paid the same rates as through freight service, is such service now subject to road conditions, such as terminal switching allowances, final terminal delays, etc.?

Decision: No; but through freight rules as to mileage and road overtime shall apply.

(b) The minimum daily earnings from all sources, for each day to which service payments are credited, of locomotive engineers (motormen) in local freight, mine run, wreck, work, helper and road switcher (not including pool, chain gang or converted) service, and not now subject to other guarantees, shall be as specified in Appendix "A."

NOTE: The term "local freight service" includes road service paid local freight rates, subject to the exclusions set forth above.

(c) The differential of $4.00 per basic day in freight and yard service, and $.04 per mile for miles in excess of 100 in freight service, will be maintained for engineers working without firemen, the firemen's position having been eliminated pursuant to the provisions of award 282. Such differential shall be applied in the same manner as the local freight differential.

ARTICLE 5

RATES OF ENGINES AND MORE THAN ONE CLASS OF ROAD SERVICE RULE

SECTION 1. Weight rates of engines as specified in Articles 2 and 3 shall apply to all rates of pay, except as otherwise provided.

SECTION 2. (a) Except as provided in Section 1, Article 16, engineers employed in any class of road service may be required to perform two or more classes of road service in a day or trip subject to the following terms and conditions:

Except as qualified by Section 2(b) below, payment for the entire service shall be made at the highest rate applicable to any class of service performed, the overtime basis for the rate paid to apply for the entire trip. Not less than a minimum day will be paid for the combined service.

When two or more locomotives of different weight on drivers are used during a trip or day's work, the highest rate applicable to any engine used shall be paid to the engineer for the entire day or trip.

(b) Engineers in through freight and passenger service only shall receive full payment for the regular day or trip based on mlles or hours applicable to the regular day or trip plus extra compensation on a minute basis for all additional time required in the other class of road service.

The rate paid both for the regular trip and for the additional time shall 1 be the highest rate applicable to any class of service performed during the entire day or trip.

When two or more locomotives of different weight on drivers are used during a trip or day's work, the highest rate applicable to any engine shall be paid to the engineer for the entire day or trip.

Overtime rate shall apply to the extra compensation only to the extent that the additional service results in overtime for the entire day or trip or adds to overtime otherwise payable for hours required for the regular trip.

Examples for the application of this Section 2(b) are:

(1) An employe in through freight service on a run of 100 miles is on duty a spread of 8 hours, including 2 hours of another class of road service--Employe will be paid 100 miles or 8 hours at pro rata rate for the trip plus 2 hours at pro rata rate for the other class of road service, both

payments to be at the highest rate applicable to any class of service performed.

(2) An employe in through freight service on a run of 100 miles is on duty a spread of 9 hours, including 2 hours of another class of road service- -Employe wi11 be paid 100 miles or 8 hours at pro rata rate for the trip plus 1 hour at pro rata rate and 1 hour at time and one-half for the other class of road service, both Payments to be at the highest rate applicable to any class of service performed.

(3) An employe in through freight service on a run of 100 miles in on duty a spread of 10 hours, including 2 hours of another class of road service- -Employe will be paid 100 mlles or 8 hours at pro rata rate for the trip plus 2 hours at time and one-half for the other class of road service, both payments to be at the highest rate applicable to any class of service performed.

(4) An employe in through freight service on run of 100 miles is on duty a spread of 12 hours, including 2 hours of another class of road service- -Employe will be paid 100 miles or 8 hours at pro rata rate plus 2 hours at time and one-half for the trip plus 2 hours at time and one-half for the other class of road service, both payments to be at the highest rate applicable to any class of service performed.

(c) This Section 2 applies to (1) unassigned and/or assigned road service; (2) another class of road service, regardless of when notified, whether at time called, at the outset of, or during the tour of duty, and (3) passenger service, except that helper or pusher service not a part of the regular passenger assignment, or wreck or work train service, should not be required except in emergencies.

(d) This Section 2 does not involve the combining of road with yard service nor modify or set aside (1) lap-back or Side trip rules except when a combination of service includes work, wreck, helper or pusher service and such movements are made in the performance of work, wreck, helper or pusher service; (2) conversion rules, and (3) terminal switching and/or special terminal allowance rules.

SECTION 3. If a type of locomotive is introduced on a railroad which formerly was not in use on that railroad and the rates herein provided are less than those in effect on other roads in the territory, the rates of the other roads shall be applied.

SECTION 4. It is understood that under this rule, excess mileage shown in Article 4 will not be paid unless service covers the entire specified territory.

ARTICLE 6

TURNAROUND TRIP SERVICE

SECTION 1. (a) Engineers on short turnaround passenger runs, no single trip of which exceeds 80 miles, including suburban and branch line service, shall be paid overtime for all time actually on duty, or held for duty, in excess of eight (8) hours (computed on each run from the time required to report for duty to the end of that run) within nine (9) consecutive hours and also for all time in excess of nine (9) consecutive hours computed continuously from the time first required to report to the final release at the end of the last run. Time shall be counted as continuous service in all cases where the interval of release from duty at any point does not exceed one hour. This rule applies regardless of mileage made. For calculating overtime under this rule, the management may designate the initial trip. Overtime at one-eighth of the daily rate according to weight of engine and district, with a minimum rate per hour as specified in Appendix "A," to be computed on the minute basis.

Question 19:

Does this rule apply to extra and unassigned service?

Decision: Yes; in which case ca:l shall specify whether crew is to be paid on turnaround or straightaway basis.

(b) If it is desired to use extra passenger, pool freight or extra engineer in short turnaround extra passenger service, notice of such intention must be given at time call is made for initial trip. It is not necessary that number of trips or destination be specified in call.

Question (a) : Is it permissible to hold engineer in short turnaround passenger service on duty at turning points of assignment and compensate him for all time on duty under 8-within-9 hour rule?

Answer (a): Yes.

Question (b) : In case it is desired to relieve one member of crew at turning point and hold the other on duty to care for engine, who should be relieved?

Answer (b): The engineer should be relieved.

SECTION 2. Pooled or extra engineers used as helpers on passenger trains not covering entire district or division over which train is run do not come under the eight within nine hour rule, and should therefore be compensated under the provisions of schedule applicable to extra helpers.

NOTE: This not to apply to engineers filling vacancies in assigned helper service.

SECTION 3. (a) An engineer making an irregular turnaround trip in freight service, turning between terminals and returning to starting point on runs 100 mlles or less, eight hours or less, 100 mlles will be allowed and overtime will begin at the expiration of eight hours. On runs of over 100 miles, overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 12 1/2. Overtime shall be paid for on the minute basis, at an hourly rate of three-sixteenths of the daily rate, according to weight of engine or other power used.

If the trip is a turnaround as specified in this section, the starting point is understood to be the terminal as well.

Except on assignments covered by Articles 7, 8, 8 1/2, 9, 9 1/2, 19, and as provided in Section 5, Article 2, engineers required to make a lap-back trip not covered by assignment, shall be allowed a minimum of 100 mlles in addition to earnings on assignment, the time engaged and the mileage made on the lap-back trip to be excluded in calculating the time engaged and the mileage made on assignment. The doubling of a train occasioned by the tonnage of the train exceeding the tonnage rating of the locomotive, or locomotives, handling the train, constitutes a lap-back trip.

Movements made within switching limits; side trips under the provisions of Section 6(a), this Article; side trips in straightaway local freight service not over 12 mlles in one direction; movements, for any purpose, within a distance of one mile from the last switch of a station siding in the direction of movement; and the doubling of a train occasioned by acts of providence, break-in-two, or accidents to the train or engine on which the engineer is working, do not classify as lap-back trips.

In case of a dispute regard the capacity of a locomotive to handle the published tonnage rating, a practical test will be made to determine the maximum tonnage which can be handled in the territory in dispute. Said test shall be made under normal operating conditions and representatives of the organization will participate. Date for making the test will be mutually agreed upon. The results of said test shall establish the correct tonnage rating of locomotives of the same class in the territory where test was made. (b) Engineers in pool or irregular freight service may be called to make short trips and turnarounds with the understanding that one or more turnaround trips may be started out of the same terminal and paid actual miles with a minimum of 100 miles for a day, provided, (1) that the mileage of all the trips does not exceed 100 miles, (2) that the distance run from the terminal to the turning point does not exceed 25 miles, and (3) that engineers shall not be required to begin work on a succeeding trip out of the initial terminal after having been on duty eight consecutive hours, except as a new day, subject to the first-in first-out rule or practice. (This does not apply to engineers in pusher and helper service, mine runs, work trains, wreck trains.)

The number of trips need not be specified when engineers are called, but the call should specify short turnaround service.

An engineer after completing each trip in short turnaround service shall be placed at the foot of the list and permitted to work his way toward first out position, but may, if needed for another short turnaround trip within eight hours from time ordered to report for duty on first trip, be run around other engineers without runaround penalty.

If engineer placed at foot of list reaches first out position prior to expiration of eight hours from time first ordered to report for short turnaround service and can be used on another short turnaround trip before the expiration of the first eight hours, it will be optional with the Company to call him for other service or hold him for short turnaround service.

The foregoing applies to this section only.

Question 79:

Must the crew actually leave the terminal before the expiration of eight hours?

Decision: No, but crews should not ordinarily be required to begin work on a second or succeeding trip when it is apparent that the departure from the terminal will be delayed beyond eight hours from going on duty on initial trip.

Question 80:

In operating turnaround service under this section, may crews be turned at a terminal out of which other crews operate?

Decision: Yes.

Question 81:

Where crews are called for turnaround service, in what territory may they be used?

Decision: They may be used in either or both directions out of the initial terminal in territory where it is permissible to use them for other than short turnaround trips.

SECTION 4. Whenever miles run exceed the limits as specified in Sections 1 and 3 of this Article, actual miles will be allowed.

SECTION 5. BLANK

SECTION 6. (a) Engineers assigned to a series of branch freight, combination freight and passenger (mixed runs), or established turnaround local freight service, will compute their time as a single trip. Such assignments which involve turnaround service or turnaround service in connection with straightaway service on certain days of the week and exclusive straightaway service on other days of the week come within the terms of this section.

Bulletins shall specify number of trips, name terminals, turning points, kind of service to be performed, and time set to begin work. In no case shall any portion of the assignment include trip or trips in helper service. It is understood this does not set aside or supersede decisions wherein engineers were used to push trains out of the yard within yard limits. (The second sentence of this paragraph is superseded by the More Than One class of Road Service Award of Board of Arbitration No. 168 so long as the awarded rule remains in force and effect on this property.)

(b) Time will be computed continuously from the time set to begin work specified in the bulletin until completion of final trip of assignment, with a minimum of 100 mlles, except that an engineer notified not less than one and one-half hours before bulletined on-duty time that he will not be wanted until a specified time will compute his time from the time required to report for duty. Engineers brought on duty in advance of the time specified in the bulletin to begin work will be allowed a minimum of 100 mlles for each time so used in addition to and without deduction from earnings on assignment. In each case, rates and rules covering service performed will govern. On runs of 100 miles or less, overtime will begin at the expiration of eight hours, and on runs of over 100 miles, overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 12 1/2. Overtime shall be paid for on the minute basis at an hourly rate of three sixteenths of the daily rate, according to weight of engine or other power used. When miles run exceed these limits actual miles will be allowed.

On assignments of over 100 miles, if the actual miles run is 100 or less, overtime shall begin at the expiration of eight (8) hours; when the actual mlles run exceed 100 mlles, overtime shall begin when the time on duty exceeds the mlles run divided by 12 l/2; but in no case under the provision of this paragraph shall an engineer receive less than the mileage of the assignment plus the initial and terminal switching and/or terminal delay.

(c) Engineers assigned under this rule who are required to perform work not a part of regular assignment, such as pulling trains into terminal account crew of which tied up under law, engine failure, or account shortage of fuel or water in locomotive, will be paid a minimum of 100 miles for each time so used in addition to assignment: in like manner when engineers enroute are taken off assignment and required to bring engine or train to terminal, crew of which tied up under law, or account engine failure, or shortage of fuel or water in locomotive, will be paid a minimum of 100 miles for each time so used in addition to assignment. If used en route to make side trip off assigned territory and such trip covers a distance of more than twelve miles in one direction, a minimum of 100 mlles will be allowed in addition to assignment. In each case rates and rules covering such service will govern. Actual time in other service to be excluded in computing overtime in assigned service. Under the above conditions, engineers used to bring disabled train to terminal will 1 compute time as a single trip from time leaving assignment until return thereto with a minimum of 100 miles.

NOTE: In cases where main track is obstructed due to derailments, engine failures, break-in-twos and traffic is threatened with serious delay and assigned engineers under this Article are used to assist in relieving obstructions, question of runarounds will be disposed of on their merits between representatives of the Company and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers.

(d) Switching before beginning of first trip and after the completion of final trip will be computed separately and paid for at one- eighth of the daily rate applying to weight of engine, service and district on the minute basis, irrespective of time on road. Switching time to be continuous from the time work is begun until it is completed and train coupled together. This time not to be counted in computing road overtime; except that when the number of hours switching is not equal in money value to the son of the money values of switching hours and road overtime hours, switching time shall not be paid for and the road overtime shall be calculated and paid for the same as if switching had not occurred.

The provisions of Section 5(a), Article 15, and the examples thereunder shall apply to this Article.

ARTICLE 6 l/2

LOGGING SERVICE

SECTION 1. Engineers assigned to Logging Service exclusively will be paid freight rates, according to weight of locomotive and district on which used; 100 miles, or less, eight hours, or less, to constitute a day; over 100 miles, pro rata. On runs of 100 miles or less overtime will begin at the expiration of eight hours; on runs of over 100 miles overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 12 1/2. Overtime shall be paid for on the minute basis, at an hourly rate, according to weight of engine or other power used. Time to be computed continuously from the time required to report for duty until released at home or district terminal.

SECTION 2. Assignments of engineers to Logging Service exclusively will be made by bulletining vacancies or new runs in accordance with rules in effect. Engineers to be assigned to one home terminal and may be run in and out of said home terminal during a day's work in Logging Service, without regard for rules defining the completion of trips.

SECTION 3. Engineers assigned to Logging Service exclusively and used in other service will be allowed a minimum of one hundred miles at the rate applying on the locomotive in the service and on the district where performed for each time so used. Time thus consumed to be excluded in computing overtime in Logging Service. Rules defining the completion of trip to govern for all service performed outside of the Logging Service assignments. (The first sentence of this paragraph is superseded by the More Than One Class of Road Service Award of Board of Arbitration No. 168 so long as the awarded rule remains in force and effect on this property.)

SECTION 4. Engineers assigned to Logging Service exclusively will be allowed one hundred miles at the rate applying on the locomotive on which last used for each calendar day of assignment on which no service is begun.

ARTICLE 7

HELPER SERVICE

SECTION 1. (a) Engineers assigned to helper service exclusively will be assigned to one home terminal and shall be paid freight rates as specified in Sections 2, 3, and 5, Article 3, with a minimum as specified in Appendix "A."

(b) The time of an engineer assigned to helper service exclusively will commence at the time he is required to report for initial duty, and will conclude at the time the engine is placed on the designated track or relieved at his home terminal, or regular division terminal upon completion of final trip begun within eight hours from initial call. If used again on a trip which departs from home terminal or a regular division terminal, after the expiration of eight-hour helper day, he will begin a new day irrespective of dates.

(c) An engineer assigned to helper service exclusively will be allowed a minimum of 100 miles for the first eight hours or less; when the mlles run exceed these limits, actual miles will be allowed. When mileage is 100 miles or less, overtime will begin at the expiration of eight hours; when mileage in excess of 100 miles is made, overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 12 1/2. Overtime shall be paid for on the minute basis at an hourly rate of three-sixteenths of the daily rate according to weight of engine or other power used.

Question (a): Engineer called and before starting service call is annulled?

Answer (a): Allow minimum of two hours "called and not used."

Question (b): After having made trip in helper service is again called and engineer released without service on second call before expiration of eight-hour helper day?

Answer (b): Call having occurred during period engineer under pay, and call annulled prior to expiration of eight-hour helper day, no additional compensation allowed.

Question (c): Engineer brought on duty 9:40 AM, returns from helper trip and released 4:05 PM; again called for 5:10 PM and call annulled at 6:20 PM?

Answer (c): Al low minimum of 100 miles and overtime at three- sixteenths daily rate, computed from 9:40 AM, until final release, 6:20 PM.

Question (d): Engineer brought on duty for initial service 7:10 PM, performs service repairing engine and proceeds to point in yard, and call annulled 9:05 PM. Again brought on duty 1:30 AM, departs 2:30 AM in helper service, returns and released 10:35 AM? "

Answer (d): Engineer having performed service on first call his helper day begins at 7:10 PM, and having departed terminal on second call before expiration of eight-hour helper day, beginning at 7:10 PM, should be allowed minimum of 100 miles, and overtime at three-sixteenths daily rate, computed from 7:10 PM until released 10:35 AM.

Question (e): Engineer called for certain time, and after coming on duty and without being released, time of departure is set back say two hours?

Answer (e): Time of trip should be computed from time reported for duty on first call.

Question (f): Assigned helper engineer on duty, home terminal of helper assignment, 12:30 PM, performs helper service, arriving at district terminal 7:25 PM; later called to deadhead from district terminal to home terminal of helper assignment, departing district terminal deadhead 9:00 PM. How should he be compensated?

Answer (f): Deadhead movement from district terminal starting after expiration of eight-hour helper day should be paid for under Article 28, applying to deadhead service; however, if deadhead had begun before expiration of eight-hour period, same would have been paid as part of first eight-hour helper day under combination rule, Section 2, Article 5.

Question (g): Assigned helper engineer performs helper service and on returning to helper terminal tied up for rest prior to expiration of eight-hour helper day. How should he be compensated?

Answer (Q): If such engineer is not needed for further service before expiration of eight-hour helper day, should be allowed a minimum day; however, if required for further service before expiration of first eight-hour helper day, and not available, account marking rest, should be paid only for actual time worked, mlles or hours, whichever greater.

Question (h) : Engineers assigned to helper service called at their helper terminal in their order, first-ln first-out, for initial service, as follows:

"A" . . . . . . . . . . . . 9:00 AM "B" . . . . . . . . . . . . 10:30 AM "C" . . . . . . . . . . . . 1:10 PM

All three engineers make trips in helper service and return to helper terminal. Call is placed for helper engineer for 4:10 PM and "C" is used. Is "A" entitled to runaround account not used on the 4:10 PM trip?

Answer (h): No; these engineers were called in turn for initial service and Company is privileged to use them as best suits the requirements of the service during the eight-hour helper day.

SECTION 2. (a) Engineers assigned to helper service exclusively when used for any service other than assignment, will be paid not less than 100 mlles for each time so used, according to the

rates and rules governing such service. Actual time in other service to be excluded in computing overtime in assigned service. (This Section 2(a) is superseded by the More Than One Class of Road Service Award of Board of Arbitration No. 168 so long as the awarded rule remains in effect on this property.) (b) When engineers in assigned helper service are required to couple in and assist trains on account of road engine being disabled such work should be included in their regular helper assignment.

(c) If an engine is broken down and has to be cut out of train, or in case trains tie up under the law, assigned helper engineer used to handle such trains, would be considered outside of regular helper assignment.

SECTION 3. Engineers assigned to helper service exclusively shall be allowed 100 miles at the rate applying to locomotive last used for each date on which no helper service is begun, excepting where engineer asks for rest, the hours extending to 12 o'clock midnight, the call time to be included.

Question: Engineer called off extra board and deadheaded 8:30 AM to home terminal of helper assignment to fill vacancy in helper service during life of bulletin. Arrived helper terminal 11:30 AM and placed on helper board. Performed no service that date. How should he be compensated?

Answer: Should be paid for the deadhead service as per Article 28. If this compensation does not equal minimum of 100 miles, as specified in Section 3, this Article, the difference shall be made up.

Question: When an engineer is sent to relieve an engineer assigned to helper service at an Outside point, what position should he take on helper board?

Answer: Relieving engineer shall be placed in space of assigned engineer laying off as soon as he is available. If such space has reached first-out position before engineer is available for call, the space shall be maintained in first-out position and the relieving engineer placed thereon as soon as available.

SECTION 4. Other engineers will not be used in helper service until all regularly assigned helper engineers who are available have been used, it being understood that this will not apply to regular assigned helper engineers from other helper stations or road engineers double-heading through helper stations.

SECTION 5. Engineers assigned to helper service exclusively will be compensated for actual time consumed in initial or terminal switching per Article 15. This does not apply where helper engineer handles cars in Cutting helper engine in or out of train, as this is a part of helper service.

It is further understood that helper engineers will not be used in switching service when road engineers are available.

SECTION 6. Engineers will be notified by appropriate means when assignments held by them under Article 7 are canceled. An engineer thus losing his assignment will be allowed a minimum of 100 miles under Section 3, this Article, provided that he protected the assignment at the home terminal prior to and on the date of its cancellation, for a period of twelve (12) hours as follows:

(i) If the assigned engineer did not perform service paying a minimum of 100 miles chargeable to the date on which the assignment is canceled, prior to the time of its cancellation, the twelve (12) hours shall be computed from 12:01 AM of the date the assignment is canceled.

(ii) If the assigned engineer performed service paying a minimum of 100 miles chargeable to the date on which the assignment is canceled, prior to the time of its cancellation, the twelve (12) hours shall be computed from the time the engineer completed service at the home terminal of the helper assignment in connection with the last service performed by him chargeable to that date.

ARTICLE 8

WORK TRAIN SERVICE

SECTION 1. Engineers in work train service shall be paid through freight rates as specified in Sections 2 and 3, Article 3. One hundred miles or less, or eight hours or less, will constitute a day; over 100 miles pro rata. On runs of 100 miles or less overtime will begin at the expiration of eight hours; on runs of over 100 miles, overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 12 1/2. Overtime shall be paid for on the minute basis, at an hourly rate of three-sixteenths of the daily rate, according to weight of engine or other power used. Time to begin when required to report for duty and to end when released at terminal or tie-up point.

Where mutually agreeable on account of conditions produced by having two standards of time, starting time may be changed one hour from periods above provided.

(1) A designated point will be established for engineers coming on and going off duty. The on-duty point and the off-duty point shall be the same unless by written agreement between the Superintendent and Local Chairman, Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, a different on-duty point and off-duty point is provided for. The on- and off-duty point or points for engineers may be different than for yardmen. Before the on-duty point or the off-duty point is changed, forty-eight hours' advance notice will be given. Extra engineers will be notified when called the point at which required to report for duty.

(m) The point for going on and off duty will be governed by local conditions. In certain localities instructions will provide that engineers will report at the hump, others report at yard office, others at engine houses or ready tracks. It is not considered that the place to report will be confined to any definite number of feet, but the designation will indicate a definite and recognized location.

(n) The foregoing paragraphs will also apply to engineers called or used in extra yard service.

SECTION 2. (a) All new or vacant assignments, or when the starting time of any assignment is changed, or when 48 hours' notice is given changing the on- or off-duty points, shall be bulletined for seniority choice of engineers in accordance with Section 10, Article 32.

SECTION 5. Blank

SECTION 6. (a) Engineers in yard service under this Article who during the course of their duty perform maintenance of way work or engage in wrecking service with all or a part of relief outfit within yard limits will be paid freight rates provided in Section 2, Article 3, or yard rate, whichever is the higher, for the combination service performed for the entire day's service.

(b) The following will not constitute maintenance of way work under Section 6(a) of this Article, when performed within yard and switching limits by engineers in yard service:

Switching maintenance of way and construction equipment in the course of yard Switching and making up trains.

Moving maintenance of way and construction equipment from one point to another point.

GUARANTEE

(c) Yard assignments will not be canceled unless it is known in advance that same will be discontinued for a period of three calendar days or more, which three days shall include the bulletined layover day.

When assignments are thus canceled, engineers relinquish rights thereto and will be privileged to make displacements under rules in effect. Yard assignments canceled under these conditions and later restored, will be bulletined for seniority choice under rules governing.

Engineers assigned to a regular or regular relief assignment in yard service who are ready for service and do not lay off of their own accord will be guaranteed not less than five days per week. In computing weekly guarantee, the week will begin on the first day on which the assignment is bulletined to work following regular days off. On assignments on which regular days off are not consecutive, bulletin of assignment shall specify the day of the week to be considered as the first day of the work week.

In making up guarantee, time so allowed will be paid at rate applying on the locomotive on which last used.

In cases where an extra engineer i.s sent to an outside point, where extra list is not maintained, to fill vacancy on regular assignment in yard service, guarantee will apply to such extra engineer during period he is filling such vacancy. However, at points where extra list is maintained and vacancy is being filled from such extra list, as per Section 3(a), Article 30 holiday or other day not worked during period extra engineers filling vacancy would not be paid.

NOTE: Engineer deadheading before or after performing extra yard service will be paid for such deadhead under Article 28.

BELT LINE AND TRANSFER SERVICE

SECTION 7. (a) Whenever such service is established a differential will be considered.

(b) INTERCHANGE SERVICE

(1) Where a carrier has the right to make interchange movements with yard, belt line or transfer engine crews, such crews may be required to handle interchange movements to and from a connecting carrier without being required to run light in either direction.

NOTE: This provision does not preclude the carrier from making interchange movements on tracks over which it may acquire rights to operate in the future, nor does it preclude the employees from opposing the granting of such rights.

(2) Work equities between carriers previously established by agreement, decision or practice, will be maintained with the understanding that such equity arrangements will not prevent carriers from requiring crews to handle cars in both directions when making interchange movements. Where carriers not now using yard and transfer crews to transfer cars in both directions desire to do so, they may commence such service and notify the General Committees of the railroad involved thereof to provide an opportunity to the General Committees to resolve any work equities between the employees of the carriers involved. Resolution of work equities shall not interfere with the operations of the carriers or create additional expense to the carriers. It is agreed, however, that the carriers will cooperate in providing the committees involved with data and other information that will assist in resolution of work equities.

(3) Where a carrier does not now have the right to designate additional interchange tracks it may designate such additional track or tracks as the carrier deems necessary providing such additional track or tracks are in close proximity. Bulletins designating additional interchange tracks hereunder will be furnished the General Chairman or General Chairmen involved prior to the effective date.

(4) If the number of cars being delivered to or received from interchange tracks of a connecting carrier exceeds the capacity of the first track used, it will not be necessary that any one interchange track be filled to capacity before use is made of an additional track or tracks provided, however, the minimum number of tracks necessary to hold the interchange will be used,

(5) The foregoing provisions are not intended to impose restrictions with respect to interchange operations where restrictions did not exist prior to the date of May 13, 1971.

(6) Every employee deprived of employment as the direct or indirect application of the foregoing provisions shall be entitled to the schedule of allowances set forth in Section 7(a) of the Washington Agreement of May 21, 1936, except that the 60% of the average monthly compensation will be changed to 100k (less earnings in outside employment) and be extended to provide periods of payment equivalent to length of" service not to exceed 5 years, and to provide further that allowances in Section 7(a) be increased by subsequent general wage

(b) Vacancies and new positions will be filled from the seniority roster of the engineers.

(c) Rates of wages that are higher or rules for overtime that are more favorable to the employes than those hereby established, shall be preserved.

(d) The provisions of Section 6(c), this Article (guarantee) will apply to engineers assigned to shop yard service.

SWITCHING SERVICE FOR NEW INDUSTRIES

SECTION 9. (a) Where, after the effective date of the May 23, 1952 Agreement, an industry locates outside of switching limits at points where yard crews are employed, the carrier may provide switching service to such industries with either roadmen or yardmen, or both, without additional compensation or penalties therefor to yard or road men, provided the switches governing movements from the main track to the track or tracks serving such industries are located at a point not to exceed four (4) miles from the switching limits. Other industries located between the switching limits and such new industries may also be served by either road or yard men without additional compensation or penalties therefor to road or yard men, where rules require that yard limits and switching limits be the same, the yard limit board may be moved for operating purposes but switching limits shall remain unchanged unless and until changed in accordance with rules governing changes in switching limits.

(b) When service is performed Outside of switching limits by yard men under the above provisions, the yard engineer or yard engineers involved shall keep account of and report to the carrier daily on form provided the actual time consumed by the yard crew or crews outside of the switching limits in serving the industries in accordance with this rule and a statement of such time shall be furnished the BLE General Chairman or General Chairmen representing yard and road engineers by the curler each month. The BLE General Chairman or General Chairmen involved may at periodic intervals of not less than three months designate a plan for apportionment of time whereby road engineers from the seniority district on which the industries are located may work in yard service under yard rules and conditions to offset the time consumed by yard crews outside the switching limits. Failing to arrange for the apportionment at the indicated periods they will be understood to have waived rights to apportionment for previous periods. Failure on the part of employe representatives to designate an apportionment, the carrier will be under no obligation to do so and will not be subject to claims.

(c) This rule shall in no way affect the servicing of industries outside yard or switching limits at points where no yard crews are employed.

(d) The foregoing is not intended to amend or change existing agreements involving full time switching service performed solely by road crews at industrial parks located within the 4-mile limit referred to in paragraph (a) herein that have been negotiated on individual properties since the national agreement of 1952.

10-MILE ROAD-YARD SERVICE ZONES

SECTION 10. At points where yard crews are employed, combination road- yard service zones may be established within which yard engine crews may be used to perform specified service outside of switching limits under the following conditions:

(1) Road-yard service zones for industrial switching purposes are limited to a distance not to exceed 10 miles, or the entrance switch to the last industry, whichever is the lesser. The distances referred to herein are to be computed from the switching limits existing on July 26, 1978, except where the parties on individual properties may agree otherwise.

(2) Within road-yard service zones, yard engine crews may be used only to meet customer service requirements for the delivery, switching, or pick up of cars which were not available or ready for handling by the road crew or crews normally performing the service or which are required to be expedited for movements into the yard before arrival of said road crew or crews. Yard engine crews may be used to perform such service without any additional compensation and without penalty payments to road crews.

NOTE: The use of yard engine crews in road-yard service zones is restricted to the specific service required or requested by the customer and they may not be used indiscriminately to perform any other additional work.

(3) The use of yard engine crews in road-yard service zones established under this Article may not be used to reduce or eliminate road crew assignments working within such zones.

(4) Nothing in this Section is intended to impose restrictions with respect to any operation where restrictions did not exist prior to July 26, 1978.

(5) Time consumed by yard engine crews in road-yard service zones established under this Section will not be subject to equalization as between road and yard service crews and/or employes.
