(b) Crews in irregular passenger service Salina to Junction City and return will be compensated on a continuous time basis if departure from Junction City is made within 8 hours after going on duty at Salina, with a minimum allowance of 120 miles at passenger rate. When departure is made from Junction City after the expiration of 8 hours from the time on duty at Salina, 100 miles will be allowed for each leg of the trip. The provisions of Rule 3 will apply only to assigned passenger service between Salina and Junction City.

(c) Company Shipments Handled on Passenger Trains. Freight rates will be paid to firemen of
passenger trains on which company shipments are handled as set forth below:

(1) DC&H. Freight rates will be paid for DC&H material or supplies (except fresh milk, cream, ice cream and fish), to commissaries, restaurants or employes on line, but will not be paid for supplies for the dining cars in the train, box lunches, DC&H linen.

(2) Company lVlateria1. Freight rates will be paid for company material exceeding 100 pounds in weight in the-aggregate on the train at anyone point between the crew's terminals, provided that stationery, advertising and printed matter in excess of 100 pounds in the aggregate, may be handled at passenger rates Where the individual shipments for any station between the crew's terminal points do not exceed 25 pounds in weight.

(3) Mail. Freight rates will not be paid for company mail, including payrolls, vouchers; tariffs,
tickets, meal and baggage checks, timetables, reports, documents, statements, blueprints, specimens for tests, samples and defective materials for inspection.

(4) Washouts-Derailments. Freight rates will not be paid for the handling of company shipments or material of any kind, or in any volume, on passenger trains, for washouts, derailments or interruptions to signal system, telegraph or telephone communications from any point on the railroad direct to point of necessity in the territory within scope of this agreement.

(5) Express. Freight rates will not be paid for any company material moving under express billing from off line points to on line points, or from on line points to off line points, or for company shipments of less than 100 pounds in weight in the aggregate between points on the line of the Union Pacific Railroad, nor for fresh milk, cream, ice cream, fish· and shipments of money, regardless of weight. (Express messengers and baggagemen will be instructed to advise train conductor of shipments over 100 lbs. in the aggregate.)

(g) Clocks and watches for use of company or its employes.

(7) When freight rates are applicable under the provisions of this rule and the total weight of the shipments loaded or unloaded between the crew's terminals amounts to 2500 pounds or more, the local rate will be allowed.

(8) Freight and local rates herein referred to will apply to the mileage of the passenger district, except that doubles, between Cheyenne and Laramie, and between Salina and Junction City, will be computed in accordance with Rule 2(a) and (b).

(9) Overtime and terminal time will be allowed at freight rates on the basis of 12% miles per
hour. Terminal time will be computed on the basis of passenger rules.

Rule 3. Short Turn-around Service. Firemen on short turn-around 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, 01' held for duty, in excess of 8 hours (computed on each run from the time required to report for duty to the end of that run) within 9 consecutive hours ; and also for all time in excess of 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 in short turn-around passenger service will be paid for at the hourly rate of one-eighth the daily rate on the minute basis.

NOTE: Minimum of 120 miles will be allowed when only one trip Salina to Junction City and return is made.

Rule 4. Guarantee. (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 amount shown in Rule(c(l) for firemen.

(b) In applying the minimum rate of pay for firemen in passenger service, as shown in Rule
l(c)(l), 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 100-mile division men double the road Monday, layover Tuesday, double
Wednesday, and layover Thursday, etc. They should be allowed the minimum for each leg of their turn-around trip.

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

Rule 5. Calling Time. At district terminals firemen in passenger service will be called as nearly
as practicable one and one-half hours before required to start on run.

Rule 6. Preparatory Time. In passenger service, firemen will report for duty 30 minutes prior to time called to depart.

Rule 7. Terminal Time and Work. (a) Initial Terminal Delay. In passenger service, when delayed after time called to depart, firemen will be paid for such delay at pro rata rates on minute basis, and time on road allowed from time required to report for duty less the delayed time.

(b) Terminal Mileage When Initial Time Does Not Accrue. In passenger service when initial time does not accrue the mileage from designated track where engine is received to point at which road mileage begins will be added to the actual or constructive miles of the district. Less than one mile not to be counted, one mile or more to be allowed, as per following table:

(download full PDF for table)

(c) Final Terminal Delay. For passenger service, final terminal delay shall be computed from the time train reaches' terminal station and will be paid for at pro rata rate on the minute basis until crew is finally released. If road overtime has commenced terminal time shall not apply and overtime will be paid to the point of final release.

When a passenger fireman upon arrival at his terminal is required to stop for fuel and/or water before reaching the terminal station, terminal time will be computed from the time the train stops for servicing until crew is finally released. Eastbound passenger engine crews required to take their trains to the ice dock at Laramie will be allowed final terminal delay computed continuously from the time the train arrives at west lead switch at icing plant until final release, and the mileage between the west lead switch and the passenger station will be deducted from the road mileage.

(d) Terminal Work. Engine crews on passenger runs will not be required to pick up or set out
cars at terminals where yard' crews are on duty and available to do' so without delay to train.
Engine crews in passenger service required to set out or pick up cars at terminals where yard
crews are assigned, will be compensated on actual minute basis at road rate for such service, including initial or final terminal delay time accruing, with minimum allowance of. one hour.'

This section (d) does not apply to engine crews in passenger service compensated in accordance with Rule 10.

(e) Changing Crews at Salina. Crews on passenger runs between Junction City and Ellis will
be changed at Salina. Junction City and Ellis will be the terminals for such runs and this Rule 7 will apply at those terminals. Initial and final terminal time will not be allowed at Salina.

Rule 8. Passenger Service Defined. Passenger trains are those composed of passenger equipment, including silk, horses, and other high-class freight in cars equipped for passenger service. Caboose or cabooses on passenger trains do not change the classification of the trains.

Rule 9. Specials. Non-revenue special trains running 100 miles or more and over more than
one district, pay actual, instead of constructive mileage.

Rule 10. When Omaha Union Station-Council Bluffs are Terminals. Omaha Union Station will
be . the terminal for such passenger trains as begin or finish handling passengers at Omaha, or when road passenger crews are required to pick up or set out cars at Omaha, other than doubling to their train with cars brought from Council Bluffs. Council Bluffs Transfer will be the terminal for other trains.

Rule 11. Lincoln-Manhattan-Beatrice Passenger Mileage allowance, Lincoln to Manhattan and
return to Beatrice, 228 miles, and Beatrice to Lincoln, 40 miles. Ten miles additional will be allowed fireman for assisting in handling engine in and out of roundhouse at Lincoln.

Rule 12. One-Way Passenger Service and Delayed Passenger Trains. (a) When one-way passenger service originates at the home terminal and passenger engine is used, the extra passenger crew· OT the senior available freight engineer and the senior available pool freight fireman will be used. If freight engine is used, freight crew first out will be given the run, provided the engineer has one· year's actual experience as engineer. If not qualified, the first crew whose engineer is qualified will be used.

(b) Except as provided in Section (e) of this rule, it the run originates at the far terminal, the first freight crew out will be used, regardless of engine furnished, with the above provisions as to qualifications of engineer. However, in exceptional cases, with the approval of the local chairman, a crew may be made up and sent to the far terminal to handle a special train.

(c) Pool crews run-around at home or far terminal as a result of qualifications required of
engineer will, if practicable, resume relative standing on the board upon arrival at home terminal, as held when run-around occurred.

(d) It is understood that when a pool freight crew is used under this rule, the next freight crew out will be moved up on the board.

(e) When the crew is made up by using senior available engineer and senior available pool freight fireman together in one-way passenger service out of home terminal, such crew will not be placed in freight pool at the far terminal unless necessary to avoid deadheading pool crews to that point to protect such service, but will be returned to home terminal in extra passenger service, deadheading, running light (engine only), or doubleheading. If used in pool freight service, they will be given their turn out as per arrival. Seniority or passenger extra board crews used in extra passenger service or to doublehead passenger train out of far terminal will be called in order of their arrival for first extra passenger train or doubleheaded passenger train run after their arrival, provided they have sufficient time to make the trip. Passenger extra board crews will not be used to doublehead in freight service out of the far terminal.

(f). Extra section of regular passenger train made up to assist regularly scheduled train will
be manned in accordance with the provisions of this rule unless use of regular crew on the regularly scheduled train would result in their not reaching opposite terminal in time for return movement on regular assignment.

(g) Delayed Passenger Trains. Regularly assigned passenger crews at both home and far
termina.ls having regularly assigned trains will be held for their assignments except when a regular assignment is twelve hours or more late the regular passenger crews will be pooled and will man the passenger trains in their first in, first out order until schedules are restored, and the crews can resume their normal assignments out of home terminal.

This does not restrict the company from deadheading crews to opposite terminal at any time
trains are not running on schedule.

Where there are separate pools for streamline and conventional passenger service, the pools will not be combined except in case of emergency.

Rule 13. Filling Vacancies-Passenger Fireman Laying Off and Extra Passenger Service. (a) When a passenger fireman (helper) lays off, or a vacancy is created, the senior pool freight fireman on that district available at calling time will take the run and hold it for ten days subject to the return of the regular fireman, or Rules 105 and l06(a).

(b) When a passenger fireman (helper) has been off his regular assignment for ten days as provided in Section (a), the senior pool freight fireman making written application for such vacancy will be placed on the assignment until return of the regular fireman, or filled by bulletin. A fireman (helper) not having opportunity to make application for such vacancy at the end of the ten day period, who makes written application at his first opportunity, may displace a junior fireman holding assignment under this section.

(c) If no written applications are made for vacancy as provided for in Section (b), they will
be dilled each trip by the senior pool freight fireman (helper) available at calling time.

(d) On districts where pool freight service is not maintained, the senior assigned freight fireman available at calling time will be used.

(e) A fireman (helper) who lays off or misses a call will not be considered available for passenger service until he has made a trip on his freight turn. This does not estop the management from administering such discipline as it deems proper for missing a call.

(f) A fireman (helper)will not be permitted to double the district in passenger service out of
Council Bluffs, Kansas City, Ellis, Denver, and Second District North Platte, two consecutive
days. On districts where passenger assignments require a layover of two or" more days, a fireman (helper) will be relieved at the completion of trip, prior to laY9ver days, unless he advises upon arrival he desires to remain on the assignment.

(g) Firemen (helpers) used in passenger service as provided in the preceding paragraphs· will be required to forfeit one trip on their freight assignments.

(h) Where there is sufficient mileage in passenger service, an extra passenger board may' be
established. The above paragraphs do not apply where extra passenger boards are maintained. Firemen (helpers) on extra passenger boards will register accumulated mileage at the end of each trip.

(i) When a freight engine is used in extra passenger service, Section (a), Rule 12, will apply.

(j) With concurrence of Superintendent and Local Chairman, firemen (helpers) may be relieved from doing passenger work for a period of not less than three months and will not be eligible to bid in regular passenger service during this period. This does not relieve firemen (helpers) from protecting extra passenger service out of far terminals as provided in Section (b), Rule 12.

Rule 14. Manning of Locomotives When Doubleheading from Terminal to Terminal. In regular
passenger service the regularly assigned crew will man the lead locomotive, except when there is a combination of diesel and steam locomotives the regularly assigned crew will remain on the diesel locomotive.

In extra 'Passenger service or in the absence of the assigned engineer in regular service, the senior engineer will man the lead locomotive.

FREIGHT SERVICE

Rule 15. Service Paid Through Freight Rates.

Through and irregular freight, pusher, helper, mine run or roustabout, work, wreck, construction, snow plow, circus trains, 'trains established 12 for the exclusive purpose of handling milk, and all other unclassified service, shall be paid through freight rates as' shown in Rule 1.

Rule 16. Basic Day.
(a) In all road service other than passenger, 100 miles or less, eight hours or less (straight-away or turn-around), shall constitute a day's work; miles in excess of 100 ,will be paid for at the mileage rates provided, according to class of engine or other power used.

(b) On district Junction City to Salina turnaround service may be operated as doubles with
Salina as the starting point or terminal, on continuous time basis 'when departure at turning
point is commenced within eight hours after going on duty, 120 miles allowed. This provision also applies when one leg of the trip is freight service and the other leg passenger service.

(c) Except as provided in Section (m), Rule 99, O. & R. V. engine crews making trip, Valley to
Council Bluffs and return to Valley, or from Valley to Council Bluffs to Beatrice will be allowed a minimum of 100 miles Valley to Council Bluffs and return to Valley; company tie-up rule, will apply at Council Bluffs. O. & R. V. engine crews 'may be used for one or more helps between Valley and intermediate points and paid on continuous time basis for such helps and a subsequent trip, Valley to Beatrice, except when called to make additional helps or trip Valley to Beatrice, after having run 100 miles in helper service or after expiration of 8 hours, computed from time of beginning new' day in helper service.

Rule 17. Overtime. (a) On runs of 100 miles or less, in all road service other than passenger, 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 will be paid for on the minute basis at 3/16 of the daily rate per hour, according
to class of engine or other power used.

(b) District Junction City to Salina' when 100 miles is allowed, overtime after eight hours; when in continuous turn-around service overtime will be allowed, on the basis of miles allowed

Rule 18. Calling Time. At district terminals firemen in all except passenger service will be called as nearly as practicable one and one-half hours before required to report for duty.

Rule 19. Terminal Switching and Initial Terminal Delay. (a) Initial Terminal Delay. (1) Initial
terminal delay shall be paid on a minute basis to firemen, and helpers on other than steam power, in through freight service after one (1) hour and fifteen (15) minutes' unpaid terminal time has elapsed from the time of reporting for duty up to the time the train leaves the
terminal, at one eighth (1/8 th) of the basic daily rate, according to the class of engine used, in addition to the full mileage, with the understanding that the actual time consumed in the performance of service in the initial terminal for which an arbitrary allowance of any kind is paid shall be deducted from the initial terminal time under this rule.

NOTE: The phrase "train leaves the terminal" means when the -train actually starts on its road trip from the track where the train is first made up. However, if the train is moved off the assembly track for the convenience of the company and not with the intent of making a continuous outbound move, initial terminal time will continue until continuous outbound move is started. The continuous move. is not disrupted when train is stopped to permit the lining of a switch or because the block is against them.

Where mileage is allowed between the point of reporting for duty and the point of departure
from the track on which the train is first made up, each mile so allowed will extend by 4.8 minutes. the period of one (1) hour and fifteen (15) minutes after which initial terminal delay payment begins, except as provided in Rule 68.

NOTE: The phrase "through freight service" as used in this rule does not include pusher, helper, mine run, shifter, roustabout, belt line, transfer, work, wreck, construction, circus train (paid special rates or allowances), road switcher, district runs, local freight and mixed service,

When road overtime accrues during any trip or tour of duty, in no case will payment for both
initial terminal delay and overtime be paid, but whichever is the greater will be paid.
When a tour of duty is composed of a series of trips, initial terminal delay will be computed on only the first trip of the tour of duty.

(2) Outbound freight crews, Council 'Bluffs, will be allowed terminal time computed from the expiration of thirty minutes from the time required to report for duty until caboose crosses M,P. 5.23 (C.G.W. crossing) at Summit. Such payments shall be in addition to road trip without deduction therefrom, except that when overtime accrues computed from the time of reporting for duty, the allowance for initial terminal time or overtime, whichever is the greater, will be paid. Road mileage will begin at M.P. 5.23 (C.G.W. crossing), Summit.

When allowance is paid under provisions of Section (1) of this rule, no allowance shall be made under provisions of this Section (aX2).

(3) Initial Terminal Switching Where Yard Crews are Not Assigned. Firemen required to do switching, load or unload stock, etc., within designated points of separation between yard and road, on outbound freight trains, will be paid therefor at pro rata rate on the minute basis and time on road computed from the time required to report for duty less the time allowed for switching. In calculating the time engaged in switching under this rule, it is understood that the time will be continuous from the time the work is begun until it is completed and the train is coupled together. When overtime accrues, computed from time of
reporting for duty, the allowance for Switching or the overtime, whichever the greater, will be paid.

(b) Where the classification of a through freight is changed to a local freight account doing local work at one or more intermediate points between terminals, the change in classification will not affect the pro rata through freight rate which is to be paid for the initial switching or work service, except when overtime accrues on trip computed continuously from time of reporting for duty, in which ease the allowance for the initial switching
or work at the pro rata through freight rate, or the overtime at the local rate, whichever the
greater, will be paid.

(c) Terminal Switching Where Yard Crews are On Duty. Road engine crews will not be required to perform switching at terminals where yard crews are on duty. The following will not be considered switching within the meaning of this Section (c):

Doubling over if there is no track available of sufficient length in that part of the yard, where
train is ordinarily made up or received, to hold the train.

Setting out bad order cars found in train after engine is coupled to train. Road crews required to set out had order cars at initial terminal where yard crews are on duty will be allowed one hour arbitrary at the through freight rate. When a bad order car is found in train after engine is coupled to train, and road crew is required to pull portion of train forward to permit yard engine to remove bad orders, road crew's time will be computed and they will be compensated in. accordance with Section (a)(1) of this rule. Time under this rule will terminate when initial terminal time commences. No allowance will be made to road crews
when engine is cut off and moved ahead while bad order car or. cars are removed, except. as required by Section (a)(1) of this rule.

Coupling train together to close cuts occasioned by necessity of protecting road crossings.
Cutting train for road crossings.

Cutting train to permit yard crew to take off or put on cars. after leaving track on. which train
assembled, or before reaching designated arrival track. This to be limited to one cut.

Crews on mixed trains picking up or setting out freight or passenger equipment. This to be limited to one set out or pick up. Intermediate yards-Picking up cars from one track and/or setting out cars on one track, or on and from additional tracks when such tracks are
not of sufficient length to hold same.

Switching performed by freight crews as pro- vided in Section (1) of this rule.

Omaha-Inbound road crews setting out cars at Summit or 20th Street and 6th Street Yard.·
Road crews handling caboose for convenience of the road crew at Topeka Road crews may make one set out of stock at Sidney, Laramie and Denver.

Grand Island-Road crews may set out sugar beets at west stock yards.

(d) Initial Terminal Switching at Terminals Where Yard Crews are Employed But Not on Duty.
Road engine crews may be required to perform necessary switching in connection with making up their own train, which includes the assembling of all cars to be moved forward in their train and, in addition, may be required to spot important loads that are in the terminal which require spot- ting before yard crew comes on duty.

Road engine crews performing such service will be compensated therefor on the minute basis at the through freight rate or the yard rate, whichever the greater, with minimum allowance of one hour at 3/16ths of the daily rate per hour, according to class of engine used, independent of the road trip. Time engaged in switching will be calculated from time the work is begun until it is completed and train is coupled together, and time on road computed from the time required to report for duty less the time consumed. in switching.

(e) Final Terminal Switching Where Yard Crews Are Employed But Not on Duty. Road engine
crews may be required to spot rush cars from their own train, deliver rush cars to connecting
lines and, in addition, may be required to spot important loads that are in the terminal which
require spotting before yard engine comes on duty.

Road engine crews performing such service will be compensated therefor on the minute basis. at the through freight rate or the yard rate, whichever the greater, with minimum allowance of one hour at 3/16ths of the daily rate per hour, according to class of engine used, independent of the road trip. Time shall be computed from the time engine reaches designated arrival point until engine is placed on designated track or crew is relieved.

(f) Where yard crews are assigned but not on duty, road engine crews may-

1. Place caboose on caboose track or on their train;

2. Double merchandise to track No.3, at Ellis;

3. Inbound road crews may make one set out and' outbound crews may make one pick up at
Sterling. Road crews performing such service will not be entitled to penalty payments prescribed in this rule.

(g) This rule applies to both through and local freight service, and switching or other work done at initial or final terminal will not change the classification of a through freight train to a local freight train.

(h) Road Engine Crews Performing Switching Enroute Where Yard Crews are Employed But Not on Duty.

1. Road engine crews may be required to pick up cars for their train and/or set out cars from
their train, and if required to place cars on two or more tracks when one track will hold the set out, will be paid local freight rate of pay.

2. Road engine crews may be required to spot· important loads from their train or that are in
the yard which require spotting before yard crew comes on duty and switch out cars that move forward in their train. Road engine crews under through freight rate of pay performing such service will be allowed local rate of pay for the trip, except when service is performed at other points enroute which changes the classification of a through freight to local freight, the service per- formed at stations where yard crews are employed but not on duty will be paid for on the minute basis with minimum of one hour at the pro rata through freight rate, or the yard rate, whichever the greater, independent of road trip.

The provisions of this section (h)2 also apply to road engine crews enroute setting out cars on
more than two tracks and/or picking up cars from more than two tracks at Rock Springs.

(i) In yards where continuous yard service is not maintained, yard crews assigned will perform all the service that is available or would become available within 30 minutes from the assigned off duty time for the yard crew, regardless of the fact that such handling may cause the yard crew to work overtime. Yard crews will be required to complete work of making up trains consisting of cars which are in the terminal and available for assembling
at expiration of shift.

(j) When the total time consumed by road engine crews in switching at terminals where yard
crews are employed but not on duty during any spread of hours which can be covered within a shift under the regularly assigned starting time rules for yard service, plus the overtime worked by yard crews during the same hours, amounts to 4 hours or more for 3 consecutive working days, yard crews will thereafter be used to perform such service so long as this amount of switching continues.. Actual time consumed in switching will be shown on time slip.

(k) When road engine crews are required to perform yard switching other than as provided in
this rule they shall be paid therefor at the through freight rate or the yard rate, whichever the greater, on minute basis at 3/l6ths of the daily rate per hour according to class of engine used, with one hour arbitrary at 3/l6ths of the daily rate, independent of the road trip, and first out· extra yard crew available at such terminal will be allowed a minimum day at yard rates.

(1) Outbound freight crews required to pick up cars, or when. additional cars are placed in their train by switch engine, between Council Bluffs and C. G. W. crossing at Summit, or between Council Bluffs and west switch storage track Gilmore, will be allowed terminal time computed from expiration of 30 minutes from time required to report for duty until caboose crosses C. G. W. crossing Summit, or west switch storage track Gilmore, with minimum allowance of schedule mileage, Council Bluffs to C.G.W. crossing Summit, or west switch storage track Gilmore. Road mileage will begin at C.G.W. crossing Summit, or west switch storage track Gilmore. (m) Except as otherwise provided for in Rules 19 and 20, terminal time allowed at terminals will be paid for under provisions of Rules 7 or 19(aX3).

Rule 20. Final Terminal Delay or Switching.

(a) For freight service, final terminal time shall be computed from the time the engine reaches designated arrival point and paid for the full delay at the end of the trip on the minute basis at l/8th of daily rate per hour when no overtime accrues to point of release.

(b) If on road overtime at the time engine reaches final designated arrival point, overtime
will be continuous until the crew is finally released.

(c) If not on road overtime when engine reaches the designated point but overtime period commences before final release, final time up to the period when overtime commences' will be allowed at 1/8 th of daily rate' per hour and time thereafter at the overtime rate.

(d) Trains held out of yard at destination will report the time when first held up as the time of
arrival at terminal point .

(e) Final terminal time will not be allowed on turn-around runs (main line or branches) except at starting point. .

(f) Freight crews arriving at Denver off Dent Subdivision will receive final terminal time from
time first held up at Sand Creek Junction due to congestion in the Denver freight yard or by
freight trains ahead, but not when held at Sand Creek Junction for passenger trains.

(g) Crews on Train No. 334 will be allowed final terminal time from the time Train No. 334 stops to have freight cars removed from their train until released at Denver Union Station.

Rule 21. Designated Points at Terminals. Designated pots at terminals separating road mileage from terminal time where applicable on inbound freight trains are shown in the tabulation of runs at pages 98 to 123

Rule 22. Zone Rule. Firemen in pool or irregular freight service may be called to make short trips and turn-arounds with the understanding that one or more turn-around 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 firemen 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.

LOCAL FREIGHT SERVICE
Rule 23. (a) Trains loading or unloading way freight, handling supply trains, working battery
cars; spotting stock cars to load or unload, spotting and unloading water cars, or doing station
switching will be classed as local freight trains.

NOTE: This does not apply to through or irregular freight trains setting out or picking up cars at stations, or picking up or dropping tonnage enroute, or loading or unloading small lots
of perishable freight, except that pool freight crews required to place cars on two or more tracks when one track will hold the set-out will be allowed local freight rates of pay. Replacing cars displaced in picking up or setting out cars will not be classed as switching.

Crews on through freight trains will be allowed local rates of pay when required to pick up car
or cars at one intermediate point and set out the cars at another intermediate point for the convenience of another train subsequently picking up the cars.

Local rate will not be allowed when:

(1) Cars are picked up at one intermediate point and set out at another intermediate point account bad order.

(2) Cars are picked up or set out account tonnage.

(3) Cars are picked up at an intermediate point and set out at a diverging point for delivery to
a point on a diverging line over which crew making set-out does not operate (A diverging
point is understood to mean a junction where two or more lines converge, one or more on
which the crew making the set-out does not operate) Example: Cars picked up at Borie
and set out at LaSalle, which cars were destined to points between LaSalle and Julesburg.
(4) Cars are picked up at an intermediate point and destined to a point on that district and
are set out at other than the destination point to avoid additional stops .. Example: Cars picked up at Morgan destined to Aspen and set out at Evanston, to be subsequently moved Evanston to Aspen by the local.

Overtime Payment When Two
Shifts Worked in 24 Hour Period
as Fireman and Hostler

E·013·22·65·5

September 14, 1950
A. B. Johnson, General Chairman,
Broth. of Loco. Firemen & Engmn.,
Omaha, Nebraska.

Dear Sir:
(CC-M. P. Caveny, General Chairman,
Broth. of Loco. Engineers,
Omaha, Nebraska.)

This has reference to our several conferences relative to application of Section 9, "Overtime in Yard and Hostler Service", of the National Agreement dated August 11, 1948, and particularly to Paragraph (e) reading as follows:

"Except as modified by other provisions of this rule, an extra employe working one shift in one grade of service and
a second shift in another grade of service shall be paid time and one-half for the second shift, the same as though both shifts were in the same grade of service, except where there is another man available to perform the work at pro rata rate." 

It is your contention that and firing service cannot be considered as two grades or service and, therefore, whenever
an extra employe is used as a hostler and fireman within a twenty-two and one-half hour period he is entitled to time and one-half for the second shift, in accordance with Section 9(c) of the agreement which reads as follows:

"Where an extra man commences work on a second shift in a twenty-four hour period he shall be paid at time and one-half for such second shift except when it is started twenty-two and one-half to twenty· four hours from the starting time of the first shift."

It is the management's contention that service as a hostler is a distinct grade of service as distinguished from service as a fireman or engineer and, therefore, the extra employe working as a fireman one shift and as a hostler another shift or vice versa within a 22 ½ hour period is entitled only to the pro rata rate for the second shift if there is an extra fireman available who can work at the pro rata rate.

You have stated that under the management's interpretation of Rule 9(e), senior firemen are being penalized because they are qualified to perform service as hostlers and must, therefore, protect same, while the junior firemen who have not as yet qualified as a hostler are not required to work in two grades of service and, therefore, can work two shifts as a fireman within a 22 1/2 hour period and receive time and one-half for the second shift.

There is merit to your contention and I am, therefore, agreeable to allowing the extra employe time and one-half for the second shift worked within a 22 1/2 hour period where he performs the first shift as a hostler and the second shift as a fireman, or vice versa, regardless of whether there is available another extra employe who can perform the service at the pro rata rate.

It is agreed that if it is subsequently determined by any committee, board or tribunal designated to interpret and make decisions in regard to schedule rules and applications, that and firing under similar circumstances are two grades of service, and that the extra employe is entitled only to the pro rata rate for the second shift when the two grades of service are performed within a 22% hour period, this agreement will automatically become null and void.

You submitted in letter dated August 22, 1950, 26 claims for time and one-half for the second shift when the extra employe worked one shift as a hostler and second shift as a fireman, or vice versa, within a 22 % hour period. A check will be made to determine whether there was or was not an extra available employe who could have worked at the pro rata rate at the time the employe performed the double. It is understood that if there were no extra men available to perform the service at pro rata rate, then the employe will be allowed time and one-half for the second shift, otherwise, the claims will be withdrawn. 

It is also agreed that no other claims will be submitted or considered for time and one-half for the second shift prior to September 1, 1950.

This agreement is effective September 1, 1950.

Yours truly,
H. E. SHUMWAY

Interim Agreement
Six Day Work Week
INTERIM AGREEMENT

This Agreement made this twenty-third day of May, 1952, by and between the participating carriers listed in Exhibits A, B, and C, attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof, and represented by EASTERN, WESTERN AND SOUTHEASTERN

CARRIERS' CONFERENCE COMMITTEES, and the em·
ployes shown thereon and represented by the BROTHERHOOD
OF LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN AND ENGINEMEN through their conference committee:

ARTICLE 3 - SIX-DAY WORK WEEK
Note: The provisions of this Article 3 shall apply on those
railroads or railroad systems where employes represented by
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen notify their Management that they elect to become subject to the
provisions of this Article 3. Unless and until such notice is
given, the provisions of this Article 3 shall not become applicable. On those railroads or railroad systems where the employes
elect not to become subject to the provisions of this
Article 3, such employes may nevertheless elect to take the
five-day work week referred to, and in accordance with, the
provisions of "Agreement 'B' " dated May 23, 1952.

Section 1. (a) Effective with the first payroll period after ninety days from the date of the notice referred to in the pre· ceding Note of this Article 3, any carrier so notified will establish for engineers and firemen, and helpers on other than steam power, in yard, transfer, and belt line service, Or combinations thereof, and hostlers and hostler helpers, represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, a work week of six basic days.

(b) The designated officer or officers on each railroad and the representative or representatives designated by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen will meet and agree on details and methods for rebulletining and reassigning jobs to conform with the six· day week. After all initial changes have been made to place the six· day week in effect, subsequent changes will be made in accordance with schedule agreement rules.

Section 2. The term "work week" for regularly assigned employes shall mean a week beginning on the first day on which the assignment is bulletined to work.

Section 3. (a) When service is required by a carrier on the designated off day of a regular assignment it may be performed by other regular assignments, by regular relief assignments, by a combination of regular and regular relief assignments, or by extra employes when not protected in the foregoing manner. (This does not disturb rules or practices on roads involving the use of emergency men or unassigned employes.) 'Where regular relief assignments are established, they shall, except as otherwise provided in this agreement, have six days of work, designated days of service, and definite starting times on each shift within the time periods specified in the starting time rules. They may
on different days, however, have different starting times within the periods specified in the starting time rules, and have different points for going on and off duty within the same seniority district which shall be the same as those of the employe or employes they are relieving.

(b) Where regular relief assignments cannot be established for six days on the same shift within the time periods specified in the starting time rules, as provided for in Section 3 (a), such assignments may be established for six days with different starting times on different shifts on different days, within the time periods specified in the starting time rules, and on different days may have different points for going on and off duty in the same seniority district which shall be the same as those of the employe or employes they are relieving.

(c) After the starting times and days of service have been established, changes therein may be made only in accordance with agreements on individual railroads.

(d) Rules providing for assignments of crews "for a fixed period of time which shall be for the same hours daily" will be
relaxed only to the extent provided in (a) and (b) of this Section 3.

(e) Except as otherwise provided for in this Section 3, regular relief assignments shall be established in conformity with rules in agreements or practices in effect on individual properties governing starting times and bulletining of assignments, and when so established may be changed thereafter only in accordance with agreements on the individual railroads.

Section 4. (a) Accumulation-Agreements may be made on the individual properties to provide for the accumulation of off days over a period not to exceed six consecutive weeks.

(b) Day Off.-In cases where off day is to be filled which cannot be made· a part of a regular assignment at an outlying
or small yard and there are no extra men at the point, by agreement between representatives of the carrier and the organization, such day may be filled by using the regular men and be paid for at straight. Time rate.

(c) Blank.

Section 5-Regular Employes. (a) Existing rules which relate to the payment of daily overtime for regular assigned employes and practices there under are not changed hereby and shall be understood to apply to regular assigned relief men, except that work performed by regular assigned relief men on their regular relief assignments shall  be paid for at the straight-time rate.

(b) Regular assigned yard and service employes worked as such more than six straight-time eight-hour shifts in a
work week shall be paid one and one-half times the basic straight-time rate for such excess work except:

(1) As provided in Section 4(a) and (b);

(2) When changing off where it is the practice to work alternately days and nights for certain periods;

(3) When working through two shifts to change off; 

(4) Where exercising seniority rights from one assignment to another;

Firemen Qualifying as Engineers
on Steam-Diesel Territory
AGREEMENT
between
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY
EASTERN DISTRICT
and
BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN
AND ENGINEMEN
FIREMEN QUALIFYING AS ENGINEERS ON
STEAM-DIESEL TERRITORY

Present instructions provide that firemen will not be promoted to engineers when they do not have 780 days actual experience as a fireman (each trip is regarded as a day). Instances are developing where firemen are eligible for promotion to engineers, yet they have worked almost exclusively in yard or in diesel service.

In order that firemen (excepting fixture yard firemen) will be fully qualified for promotion to engineers, it is agreed:

(1) A fireman must have at least 36j trips as a fireman in road service, 180 of which must be on steam locomotives on
districts where both steam and diesel power is utilized.

(2) During the six month period preceding the taking of the Transportation Department rules examination, a fireman must perform at least 45 trips as fireman in road service, which must be on steam locomotives on districts utilizing both steam and diesel power.

(3) (a) In the event a fireman through no fault of his own is unable to work the number of days on a steam locomotive
as required by Sections 1 and 2 prior to taking and passing the Transportation Department rules examination, and is qualified by Road Foreman on diesel locomotive, he will not be called as engineer on steam locomotives until he has made the required number of qualifying trips as fireman on steam locomotives which must be made as soon as possible.

(b) If a fireman through his own fault fails to make qualifying trips on a steam locomotive as required by Sections 1 and 2 prior to taking and passing the Transportation Department rules examination, he will, be required to make the qualifying trips as stated in those sections before he is qualified by Road Foreman and placed on engineers' working list or extra board. Such qualifying trips must be made as soon as possible. 

The foregoing provisions will become effective on January 1, 1953.

Dated this 1st day of July, 1952.
