All road crews may receive/leave their trains at any location within the boundaries of the new complex and may perform any work within those boundaries pursuant to the controlling collective bargaining agreements. The Carrier will designate the on/off duty points for road crews within the new complex with the on/off duty points having appropriate facilities for inclement weather and other facilities as currently required in the collective bargaining agreement. The on-duty points shall be the same as the off-duty points. 3. All rail lines, yards and/or sidings within the new complex will be considered as common to all crews working in, into and out of the complex. All crews will be permitted to perform all permissible road/yard moves . Interchange rules are not applicable for intra-carrier moves within the complex. 4. In addition to the consolidated complex, all UP and SP operations within the greater Salt Lake City area and all UP and SP operations (including the OUR&D) within the greater Ogden area shall be consolidated into two, separate terminal operations.
