BASIC DAY

(b) One hundred and fifty (150) miles or less (straightaway or turnaround) shall
constitute a day’s work. Miles in excess of one hundred and fifty (150) will be paid for at
the mileage rate provided.

(As amended by 1985 National Contract see below)

1991 SECTION 2Miles in Basis Day and Overtime Divisor

(What is Basic Day – Determination of when Overtime Begins)

(a) The miles encompassed in the basic day in through freight and through
passenger service and the divisor used to determine when overtime begins
will be changed as provided.

Effective Date Through Freight Service Through Passenger

of Change Service

Miles in Basis Overtime Miles in Basis Overtime

Day Divisor Day* Divisor

January 1, 1995 130 16.25 195-130 26.0

* The higher mileage numbers apply to conductors and Brakemen and the lower
mileage number apply to engineers and firemen.

 

SECTION 2 (b) – Miles in Basic Day and Overtime Divisor

(Miles in Excess Of Basic Day)

(b) Mileage rates will be paid only for miles run in excess of the minimum number
specified in (a) above.

SECTION 2 (c) – Miles in Basic Day and Overtime Divisor.

(Number of Hours that must Lapse before Overtime Begins)

(c) The number of hours that must lapse before overtime begins on a trip in
through freight or through passenger service is calculated by dividing the miles of the trip
or the number of miles encompassed in a basic day in that class of service, whichever is
greater, by the appropriate overtime divisor. Thus after June 30, 1988, overtime will begin
on a trip of 125 miles in through freight service after 125/13.5= 9.26 hours or 9 hours and
16 minutes. In through freight service, overtime will not be paid prior to the completion of
8 hours of service.

HELPER CONDUCTOR

(c) When helper conductor is used on passenger train he will be paid at the same
rate as the regular conductor handling the train. On trips over 80 miles, helper conductors
to be compensated in accordance with Article 1 (b), and payment for trips not exceeding
80 miles helper conductor to be compensated under Article 1 (f).

Helper conductor will be provided for trains originating at Los Angeles, San
Diego, Richmond, and Bakersfield when it is anticipated that train will have in excess of
275 passengers. This will not prevent using helper conductors otherwise when needed.

NOTE: Main trains, tour trains, Company employee trains or special party trains,
the transportation for which consists of large group or party tickets, are excluded
from the provision of this rule. In filling vacancies on passenger trains, for train
conductors and helper conductors, both on the same train and called for the
same time, the extra passenger conductor, first out, will fill train conductor’s
assignment, and extra passenger conductor, second out, will fill helper conductor assignment.

BEGINNING AND ENDING OF DAY

(d) In passenger service the working time will commence at the time required to
report for duty and shall continue, after arrival of train at final terminal as a crew unit, until
relieved of all responsibility in connection with assigned duties. Time off duty as shown by
conductor in charge of crew, will govern time trainmen are released from duty.

One designated point shall be established in all terminals where passenger crew
shall report for duty and at which point they shall go off duty. The point designated to go
on and off duty shall be the same.

The minimum allowance for passenger service shall be time and mileage computed
from the designated point at initial terminal to the designated point at the final terminal,
with a minimum of 150 miles, the exception being in extra unassigned passenger service
when required to operate beyond the designated point at either the initial or final terminal,
such additional time and mileage shall be added to the trip and mileage.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Referring to claim of train crews for one hour arbitrary allowance account being
placed on duty more than thirty minutes in advance of scheduled departure time at Los
Angeles Union Passenger Terminal, which were first presented to Mr. Tisdale in General
Chairman Young’s letter of July 18, 1946. General Chairman Chapman initiated similar
claims in his letter of September 11, 1946 to Mr. Tisdale.

We discussed these claims in conference August 28 and September 2 and it was
agreed that all claims on and after April 1, 1943 until the time we commenced paying same
currently will be allowed and that any claims for occurrences prior to April 1, 1943 are
"withdrawn".

(From Understanding of September 15, 1947)

OVERTIME – Passenger runs

(e) 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,
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 (1) hour. This rule applied
regardless of mileage made.

For calculating overtime under this rule the Carrier may designate the initial trip.

When called for extra or unassigned service under this section, the call shall specify
short turnaround service.

Under the operation of the 8-within-9 rule, where excessive overtime earnings
accrue, or where the Carrier is penalized by limitation as to the number of trips which may
be made in a day’s assignment, or where present rule is inequitable the Carrier and the
committee shall enter into negotiations with a view of eliminating such inequities.

(f) On other passenger runs overtime shall be paid on a speed basis of twenty miles
per hour computed continuously from the time required to report for duty until released at
the end of last run. Overtime shall be computed on the basis of actual overtime worked or
held for duty, except that when the minimum day is paid for the service performed
overtime shall not accrue until the expiration of seven hours and thirty minutes from time
of first reporting for duty.

(g) Overtime in all passenger service shall be paid for on the minute basis at a rate
per hour of not less than one-eight (1/8) of the daily rate herein provided.

(h) Regularly assigned passenger employees who are ready for service the entire
month and do not lay off of their own accord shall receive the monthly guarantee provided
for in Section (a) of this article, exclusive of overtime, except that former higher monthly
guarantees shall be preserved.

EXTRA SERVICE

(i) Extra service may be required sufficient to make up these guarantees , and may
be made between regular trips, may be made on layoff days, or may be made before or
after completion of the trip. If extra service is made between trips which go to make up a
day’s assignment, such extra service will be paid for on the basis of miles or hours,
whichever is the greater, with a minimum of one (1) hour. Extra service before or after the
completion of a day’s work will pay not less than the minimum day.

The bases of pay for extra service apply only in making up the guarantees. After
guarantees are absorbed, schedule provisions for extra service apply.

(j) When a regularly assigned passenger employee lays off on his own accord or is
held out of service, the extra employee will receive the same compensation the regular
employee would have received, and the amount paid the extra employee or employees,
will be deducted from the amount the regular employee would have received had he
remained in service, the sum of the payments to the employee or employees, who may
be used on the run equaling the monthly guarantee.

(k) Reduction in crews or increases in mileage in passenger service from
assignments in effect January 1, 1919, shall not be made for the purpose of offsetting these
increases in wages, but nothing in this order is understood to prevent adjustment of runs in
short turnaround and suburban service that are paid under minimum rules for the purpose
of avoiding payment of excess mileage or overtime that would accrue under these rules,
without reducing the number of crews. Such runs may be rearranged, extended, or have
mileage changed by addition of new train service, separate pools or assignments may be
segregated or divided, provided that crews are not taken off or reduced in number. Added
mileage up to mileage equaling the mileage rate divided into the guaranteed daily rate does
not change, take from or add to the minimum day'’ pay, and this added mileage is not to
be construed as "increase in mileage" within the meaning of this article.

(l) For the purpose of avoiding payment of excess overtime on turn-around runs in
passenger service when any part or leg thereof is over eighty (80) miles, the railroad will
be privileged to rearrange runs, combine pools or set of runs, and may establish
interdivisional runs excepting when this may be prohibited by provisions of existing
agreements, such runs to be paid for in accordance with the mileage schedule of this order,
but in no case less than the combination of trip rates in effect at this time. 

(m) Extra crews held at home terminal to protect extra passenger service
will be allowed one day at passenger rate for each calendar day so held if
no service performed. At other than home terminal they will be paid as per Article 43.

GUARANTEE

(n) When the monthly earnings of regularly assigned passenger
employees from daily guarantees, mileage, overtime and other
rules do not produce the following average amounts per day,
they will be paid for each day service is performed:

Per Day

Conductor --------------------------- $109.82

Baggageman --------------------------- 101.16

Brakeman --------------------------- 100.68

When extra men fill vacancies in regular positions, they take conditions of the
regular position. Service performed by extra men not filling place of regular men will be
paid not less than the daily minima for each day service performed.

(o) Crews will be assigned to all regular passenger runs when earnings from
service necessary to perform will approximate the monthly guarantee. This will not
prevent the company from running crews temporarily first-in first-out when trains are off
schedule account washouts or other causes, but that assignments will be resumed when
conditions are again normal. When initially necessary to pool runs at a terminal, crews will
be given their turn out in accordance with their standing as per assignment and not on the
basis of time of arrival.

(p) When necessary to operate a stub passenger train out of the initial terminal of
regular crew’s assignment ahead of delayed passenger train, but not in advance of
timetable schedule of the regular train, to perform a portion of the work of the regular
train, regularly assigned crews, if available at terminal, will be used on such stub passenger
train.

When crew are assigned to first and second sections of passenger trains the crew assigned to first section will handle out of their initial terminal the first assigned section,
regardless of consist. If an extra passenger train not handling any of the regular equipment
of an assigned train is operated as a section of a scheduled train, such extra train or trains
will be manned by extra trainmen.

Where crews are assigned to a passenger train and train is split and run in two (2)
sections going through to terminal without diverging on a side trip, the regular assigned
crew will be used on the first section containing part of the regular assigned equipment.

SLEEPING CAR TRANSPORTATION

(q) (1) Railroad transportation presented on passenger trains, will be handled by
conductor or helper conductor.

NOTE: The above will not prevent Pullman Company employees assigned the train
or the helper conductor on their instructions or Train Auditors from auditing
transportation on a train.

(q) (2) Effective with passenger trains leaving their initial terminal after 12:01 AM
September 1, 1969, Train Conductors in charge of passenger trains, the consist of
which includes sleeping car or cars (excluding official business car or cars), will report
sleeping car passengers and their transportation (as well as rail transportation), and
perform any other services in connection therewith by current instructions.

Train Conductor will be responsible for handling car transportation on
the train in their charge and other services in connection therewith, however, it is
understood that for the convenience and comfort of our passengers, Porters-in-charge may
continue to receive, lift and pouch passenger transportation, which will be given to the
Train Conductor; furthermore, such transportation may continue to be lifted and pouched,
as now provided, before passengers board cars at selected terminals to enable passengers
to proceed directly to their accommodations.

Train Conductors in charge of trains handling sleeping cars in service (excluding
official business car or cars), as outlined above, will be allowed 67/100 cents ($0.0067)
per mile, not subject to future wage increases or decreases. This arbitrary allowance will}
not be payable to helper conductors. (From Agreement of July 30, 1969)

 

SPACE FOR CONDUCTOR

(r) On all passenger trains suitable space will be provided for conductor’s office
and the Carrier will maintain a complete supply of blank 812 reports on each train for use
of conductors.

(s) When necessary, in passenger service, to go on duty at Union Station, Los
Angeles, and on return trip go off duty at First Street, or vice versa, as full compensation,
an arbitrary payment of one (1) hour’s pay at passenger overtime rate will be allowed in
such instances.

Where crew in extra passenger service, including movie special, go on and/or off
duty at First Street, Los Angeles, a total arbitrary payment of one (1) hour’s Pay at
passenger overtime rate will be made in such instances.

(t) Extra passenger crews in other than interdivisional passenger service, operating
into and out of their away-from-home terminals, will be compensated on a continuous
time basis when the interval of release at their away-from-home terminal is four (4) hours
or less, calculated from the time of arrival to the time of departure. If the interval of
release at their away-from-home terminal is more than four (4) hours, such crews will be
compensated on the basis of not less than a minimum day in each direction. Extra
passenger crews operating into and out of their away-from-home terminals under the
provisions of this agreement will be run or deadheaded first-in first-out with respect to
each other.

(u) Crew in assigned passenger service will not be required to make turnaround on
Oakland District coupled with through run to or from Bakersfield, and crew will be
assigned to handle through runs between Oakland and Bakersfield in each direction
and paid on basis of actual miles run, Oakland to be considered as an outlying point with
Richmond as home terminal. Further, during periods that crew is assigned to work
between Oakland and Bakersfield it will, at times, be necessary for crew or one (1)
member thereof, upon arrival at Oakland, to turn train and/or engine on wye before tying
up, in which event the individual(s) so used will be paid therefor on actual minute basis at
one-eight (1/ 8) of the daily rate, with a minimum of twenty (20) minutes for such service,
and this allowance will be made independent of the road trip.

Where only one (1) member of through crew is used to accompany engine when
turning same on wye at Oakland other members of train crew will be relieved of
responsibility in connection with such movements.

Where deadheaded Richmond to Oakland for passenger service, or where
completed trip in passenger service and is being returned to Richmond deadhead, payment
will be made on continuous time basis provided notified before arrival at Oakland that he
is to be used out of that point on a continuous time basis in service or deadhead. If held on
following date and then relieved by regular man, minimum day’s pay will be allowed.

In extra passenger service turn around trip on Oakland District may be coupled
with straightaway trip and crews run through Richmond on basis of continuous time or
miles.

Trains consisting primarily of dead passenger equipment between Richmond and
Oakland will be manned by a crew, or crews, assigned on short turnaround passenger
basis to handle the major portion of such business and freight crews may be used to handle
additional dead passenger equipment when regular short turnaround passenger crew is not
on duty or available at that end of line.

CONVERSION

(V) (1) The local freight conversion rule contained in Article 2(k) of the schedule
does not apply to regular or extra passenger crews operating passenger trains, and the

clothier and the employee presents receipt as to payment therefor to the Division
Superintendent, refund will be made by voucher but for not to exceed fifty per cent
of the cost or fifty per cent of what the cost would have been if uniform secured
through designated clothier, whichever is less. When a new uniform is required and
employee desires to secure same on payroll deduction basis, he will secure from
trainmaster the necessary order after signing payroll deduction authorization and
the Company will deduct fifty per cent of the cost of the uniform so purchased
from employee’s pay check.

(aa) (9) When ordering uniform, a complete new suit will be purchased, i.e., the
coat, vest and trousers (two pairs if desired) on each such occasion for the reason
it is undesirable to wear a new uniform coat with an old vest and trousers or vice versa.

part thereof is damaged, destroyed, lost or stolen, such employee will repair the
damage or replace the uniform at his own expense.

(aa) (11) If within ninety days after uniform has been secured and for which the
Railway Company has made refund of one-half cost, an employee who receives
such refund voluntarily leaves the service of the company or removes himself from
the uniform class, then the entire amount of such refund shall be recollected from such an employee.

(aa) (12) Bakersfield and Needles brakemen who have accumulated service of
sixty (60) days, either consecutively or in the aggregate must have equipped
themselves with a passenger uniform in order to be available for passenger
service on the completion of the sixty days.

(aa) (20) Conductor (trainman) who does not have an Amtrak uniform in his
possession, but who has an application (requisition) for such uniform, will be permitted to
and must wear his railroad uniform until receipt of the Amtrak uniform.

Agreement of April 15, 1974)

(bb) Baggage service rules:

(bb) (1) When checked baggage is loaded or unloaded enroute between terminals
of a Passenger Trainman assignment, a Baggageman from the ranks of Trainmen will be
assigned under schedule rules.

Baggagemen when assigned may also handle U.S. Mail, express or other similar
type shipments, railroad mail and other items of railroad property.

(bb) (2) Trainmen assigned to regular baggage service or used to protect relief
and/or extra baggage service must qualify for such service. Not less than the minimum
number of extra trainmen’s as agreed to by the Superintendent and the Local Chairman of
the Trainmen’s Committee as necessary to protect relief and extra baggage service will
qualify.

The number of extra trainmen who must qualify to protect extra baggage service
will be determined by the Superintendent and the Local Chairmen.

(bb) (3) (a) Vacancies or new assignments in baggage service shall be advertised in
line with Article 17(n) of this agreement and the senior qualified trainman making
application thereof shall be assigned. Trainmen not qualified shall be given an opportunity
to qualify for this service at no expense to the carrier.

(bb) (3) (b) A successful applicant for train baggagemen’s assignments shall be
required to remain in such service for a period of at least 2 months. He must
simultaneously either on his bid or in a separate memorandum, waive his rights to work in
another grade of service in accordance with paragraph (e) of Article 20 before his bid will
be accepted. When a train baggageman places a bid for emergency class of conductors, he
will be considered as bidding in a higher grade of service and his train baggageman’s
assignment will be considered vacant and advertised for bids.

(bb) (3) (c) Each employee who bids in or displaces on a baggage assignment must
complete 2 months’ actual service, either continuous or in the aggregate, before he is
permitted to return to other service as a trainman.

(bb) (3) (d) Should a employee take a train baggageman’s assignment and
subsequently bids in a higher grade of service prior to completing the 2 months’ time in train
baggage service, he will, upon attempting to return to return to service as a brakeman, be
required to return to baggage service if he can hold an assignment as such and complete the
full 2 months’ period before being permitted to take any other assignment as a brakeman.

(bb) (3) (e) If before the 2 months are up he reverts into the Trainmen ranks he
must return to baggage service if it is possible for him to do so. If he is unable to revert to
baggage service due to lack of seniority he is relieved of this obligation.

(bb) (3) (f) If before the 2 months are up he is displaced from baggage service and
cannot then hold a baggage assignment out of his terminal then he is relieved of the 2
months’ obligation. By this we mean he does not have to revert to baggage service if
subsequently, and prior to end of 2 months, a vacancy develops in that service.

(bb)* (4) (a) All extra trainmen who have made student trips and/or worked
baggage on this property will be considered as qualified train baggagemen.

(bb)* (4) (b) Those outlined in paragraph (a) will be called from the extra board in
their respective order on the board, one with the other, for any unassigned baggage
service. Appropriate crew records will reflect such trainmen.

(bb)* (4) (c) Any trainman not qualified desiring to do so may qualify by making
one student trip with a qualified Train-Baggageman and securing approval from him and
the Trainmaster. On assignments working into or out of Los Angeles, trainmen will
contact appropriate supervisor for additional instructions.

(bb)* (4) (d) Extra trainmen runaround because of not being qualified for baggage
service will not be entitled to any penalty account not so used.

(bb)* (4) (e) In the event there are no experienced baggagemen available on the
extra board, the first out trainmen will be used.

(bb) (5) (a) In the event vacancy exists for a passenger brakeman and a train
baggageman on the same assignment the first out qualified trainman will be called for
baggageman after which passenger vacancy will be filled.

(bb) (5) (b) Temporary vacancies (including vacation vacancies) for train-
baggagemen will be filled by the senior qualified extra trainman on the board which
protects the run making application for the run and will remain thereon until displaced by
the regular man or some senior qualified extra trainman. Should said senior extra man who
has made application for and been placed on the run in turn lay off, the run will be open to
the senior qualified trainman making application for same.

In the event no qualified trainmen makes application for train-baggageman vacancy
in line with above paragraph, the first out qualified on the extra board will be used and remain
thereon until displaced by some senior qualified extra trainman making application for the run,
by return of the regular assigned train- baggageman, or by vacancy being filled under Article 17 (q).

An extra trainman is protecting a train- baggageman’s vacancy under the above
paragraph and bids in a vacancy in line with his seniority will be relieved and placed on his
new assignment, after which the train- baggagement’s vacancy will be again protected in line
with the preceding paragraph.

(bb) (5) (c) Where a trainman does not have the right to work a full 2 months in
baggage service under the provisions of Article 1 (bb) (3) (b), he will not be permitted to
bid in or displace on a train- baggageman’s assignment.

(bb)* (6) In the event no qualified trainman makes application for train-
baggageman vacancy on Train Nos. 4 and 3, the first-out qualified trainman on the extra
board will be used, and will have the option of being released after the completion
of round trip and return to Extra Board or he may elect to remain on the vacancy until
displaced by some senior qualified extra trainman making application for the run, by return
of the regular assigned train- baggageman, or by the vacancy being filled under Article 17 (q).

subjecting them to being held out of service as brakemen until such time as they do qualify.

(bb)*(8) (b) Any employee going on the brakeman’s extra board not previously
qualified as a train- baggageman (whether coming from the conductors' board, from a
regular brakeman’s assignment, from other locations, from yardmen’s board, or from leave
of absence) will be given 5 days in which to qualify as a train-baggageman, with failure to
do so subjecting him to being held out of service until such time as he does quality.

(As Amended by 1985 National Contract)

1985 - ARTICLE IV - PAY RULES

SECTION 1(a) & (b) - Mileage Rates

(a) Mileage rates of pay for miles run in excess of the number of miles comprising
a basic day (presently 100 miles in freight service and 100 miles for engine crews
and 150 miles for train crews in through passenger service) will not be subject to
general, cost-of-living, or other forms of wage increases.

(b) Mileage rates of pay, as defined above, applicable to interdivisional,
interseniority districts, intradivisional and/or intraseniority district service
runs now existing or to be established in the future shall not exceed the
applicable rates as of October 31, 1985. Such rates shall be exempted from

1991 SECTION 2 - Miles in Basic Day and overtime Divisor

(What is Basic Day - Determination of when Overtime Begins)

(a) The miles encompassed in the basic day in through freight and
through passenger service and the divisor used to determine when
overtime begins will be changed as provided.

Effective Date Through Freight Service Through Passenger Service

of Change

Miles in Basic Overtime Miles in Basic Overtime

January 1, 1995 130 16.25 195-130 26.0

* The higher mileage numbers apply to conductors and brakemen and the
lower mileage number apply to engineers and firemen.

(b) Mileage rates will be paid only for miles run in excess of the minimum
number specified in (a) above.

(c) The number of hours that must lapse before overtime begins on a trip
in through freight or through passenger service is calculated by dividing the
miles of the trip or the number of miles encompassed in a basic day in that
class of service, whichever is greater, by the appropriate overtime divisor.
Thus, after June 30,1988, overtime will begin on a trip of 125 miles in through

In through freight service, overtime will not be paid prior to the completion
of 8 hours of service.

(e) When constructive mileage is allowed same to be employed in computing overtime.

Constructive mileage will be allowed in freight service as follows:

In Both Directions

W.B. 172 miles Between Barstow and Mojave 69 miles

Between San Bernardino and Barstow 100 miles

** The provision of Article 2(e) of the Conductors’ and Trainmen’s Schedule
and Article 31 of the Firemen’s Schedule will not be applicable to this interdivisional
service in lieu thereof, employees in this service will be allowed the following
for each trip between Winslow and Needles:

Fireman $20.09

Conductor 19.78

Brakeman 18.63

This allowance will not be subject to future wage increases and/or cost-of-living
allowance and will only be applicable to those employees with a seniority date in
train or engine service prior to the effective date of this Agreement.

(f) On any district, the mileage of which is less than 100 miles, for which 100
constructive miles is allowed, intermediate doubles may be made, mileage of
which added to the actual miles would bring the total mileage made above 100
miles actual miles will be allowed.

(g) In pool or irregular freight service crews may be called to make short trips
or turnarounds with understanding that one (1) or more turnaround trips may be
started out of the same terminal and paid actual miles, with minimum of 100 miles
for a day; provided (1) That the mileage of all the trips does not exceed 100 miles,
and (2) that crews shall not be required to begin work on a succeeding trip out of
initial terminal after having been on duty 8 consecutive hours, except as a new day,
subject to the first in first out rule or practice.

(See Question and Decision on next page)

Question 104: Must the crew actually leave the terminal before expiration of eight (8) hours?

Decision: No, but crews should not ordinarily be required to begin work on the second or succeeding trip when it is apparent that the departure from the terminal will be delayed beyond eight (8) hours from going on duty on initial trip.

NOTE: Crew used in short turnaround service under the above and held at terminal for an additional turnaround trip and crew is not used for additional trip and is released, will hold turn as per their arriving time at terminal with respect other crews that arrived at terminal behind them. It is understood that the crew that made short turnaround trip will not be compensated under the terms of the runaround rule if crew arriving behind them are used between the time of their arrival and the time relieved.

(b) When called for service under this clause the number of trips need not be specified, but the call should specify turnaround service.

Article 2

SHORT TURN-AROUND SERVICE

(i) Crews used in short turnaround service 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. Short turnaround trips may not be connected with straightaway trips and be paid continuous trip basis.

(j) On the Los Angeles Division trips in through and irregular freight service other than those described in paragraph (g) a new day will begin when the time of actual departure from Los Angeles is eight (8) hours or more from the time of going on duty on the initial service.

LOCAL FREIGHT CONVERSION

(k)(1) In freight or mixed service, regular or irregular, assigned or unassigned, crew shall be paid local freight rates on trips when required to load or unload L.C.L. shipments, except that on mixed runs where mixed rate is higher than local, such higher rates will be paid.

(k)(2) Crews in work train service required to load or unload commercial L.C.L. freight, such as in normally handled by locals, local rate shall apply if higher than work train rates.

(k)(3) Crews doing station switching shall be paid not less than local freight rates.

(k)(4) Crews consuming 1 hour and 45 minutes or more picking and/setting out cars and required to pick up and/or set out at three (3) or more stations shall be paid not less than local freight rates, such time to be accumulative and computed from time the work is begun until completed and train coupled together.

NOTE: Picking up or setting out cars and/or terminal switching at terminals where crews are paid for initial and/or final terminal switching as an arbitrary will not be considered in applying this rule.

(k)(5) The setting out of an inbound train and picking up of an outbound train at the turning point of a turnaround trip constitutes a setout and a pickup.

INTERPRETATION: Train arrives at a station with cars to set out. The fact that such cars may be in two or more places in the train on arrival is not to be considered as station switching. Of course, the time setting them out would come under the 1 hour 45 minutes rule but would not be considered station switching simply because the cars to be set out were in more than one place in the train. It is understood that if a crew having no cars to pick up or set out is required to take its engine and move or spot cars already at such station such work shall be considered station switching.

EXAMPLES AGREED TO FOR PAYMENT

UNDER ARTICLE 2(K)

Example 1: Train arrives at station with one or more cars to set out, say on No. 2. They find a car spotted on track No. 2 which agent instructs them to shove back to the lower end of track No. 2, then pull ahead and spot the car they are to set out at a certain point on track

No. 2, which is done. This is not station switching, it being a straight shove, but would come under paragraph four (4).

Example 2: Crew having one or more cars to set out, say at the house, finds a number of cars on the house track which they are required to shove back, then cut a crossing and pull ahead in order to spot the car to be set out. This is not station switching, but would come under paragraph four (4).

Article 2

Example 3: Crew has one or more cars to set out, say at the house. In order to set car or cars at the house it is necessary to place same behind cars already on house track or pull one or more cars off the house track and place on some other track. This is station switching under paragraph three (3) inasmuch as it is necessary to make a switch in order to put their car or cars to the house.

Example 4: Crew has one or more cars to pick up. Car to pick up is behind one or more cars. In order to pick up it is necessary to make switch and whether the car which were standing ahead of the car or pick up are spotted back where they were placed on another track the move would be considered station switching under paragraph three (3).

Example 5: Crew instructed to pick up or set out a number of water cars and in doing so required to spot and fill some cars. The time required to fill the cars would be considered in connection with the 1 hour 45 minutes time limit necessary to convert train into local under paragraph four (4).

Example 6: Crew or crews originating or terminating at an outlying point are required to make up or break up their own train and in doing so required to make switch, the paragraph three (3) shall apply.

Example 7: Crew or crews originating or terminating at an outlying point are required to make or break up their own train and in doing so no switch is made, the time consumed in making up or breaking up train will be figured in computing the 1 hour 45 minutes as shown in paragraph four (4).

Example 8: Crew arriving at one of the terminals named in Switching Rule (Appendix A) required to do station switching while on overtime, as provided for in said switching rule, will be considered as having performed station switching as provided for in paragraph three (3).

(l) Solid trains of silk in baggage or express cars will be handled by through freight employees, by districts, and paid on through freight basis.

(m) Crew members will not be required to manipulate ventilators at terminals.

(n) Unassigned Harbor District work will be protected by Los Angeles extra employees, when available in lieu of San Bernardino pool crews.

(o) Road mileage is calculated from depot to depot, except on trains originating in River Yard at Belen and 22nd Street Yard at San Diego; the road mileage will be calculated to or from the center of those yards.

 

INTERDIVISIONAL SERVICE

(From Agreement of June 9, 1972, as amended

effective March 1, 1973)

Section I.

Pursuant to Article XII of the National Agreement dated January 27,1972, with the United Transportation Union, it is agreed that The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company coast Lines will establish intradivisional service pool freight crews as set forth below.

(a) Intradivisional service will operate from terminal of Richmond, California, to the terminal of Calwa, California and the reverse.

(b) Richmond and Calwa, California, will continue to be the home terminals for the Second District freight crews, Pool freight crews will operate through the terminal of Riverbank..

(c) Richmond crews upon arrival at Calwa will be called for service subject to their availability under the Hours of Service law ahead of Calwa crews; however, not more than two (2) Richmond crews will be worked out of Calwa before using a Calwa crew. The same principle shall apply at Richmond. Mileage will be equalized between the sides of the district weekly.

Section I, paragraph (c) of the Intradivisional Agreement of June 10, 1972, modified as follows, effective March 1, 1973:

The present pertinent language reads as follows:

"Mileage will be equalized between the sides of the District weekly."

The application of the above sentence will be changed, and effective March 1, 1973, the mileage will be equalized between the sides of the District on the 10th, 20th, 30th of each month, the month of February being compensated for. At the expiration of each 10-day period mileage will be equalized between the sides of the District, i.e., Calwa and Richmond, so that there will be a variance of no more than two (2) one-way trips. The one or two one-way trip variance will be added to the next 10-day period as a factor in determining proper equalization for the following 10-day period.

(See next Page)

The parties also agree to permit the Carrier to deadhead home terminal crews to their terminal, out of sequence, without regard to the two-to-one ratio, provided that this strategic deadheading is for the express purpose of equalizing mileage between the sides of the District. Under these circumstances the crew involved will be advised on call that they are being strategically deadheaded for mileage equalization purposes to avoid an unnecessary controversy.

(d) All crews at their away-from-terminal after eighteen (18) hours off duty will either work subject to Paragraph (c) or deadhead on or before (commercial transportation) the first intradivisional train.

(e) In respect to deadhead crews at their away-from-home terminal, it is agreed that crews can be deadheaded out of turn with respect to home terminal crews, when excess crews are at their away-from-home terminal.

(f) All deadheading will be paid for by the Carrier. Deadheads will be counted as turns. It is understood Richmond and Calwa crews will not be worked out of turn except as outlined above.

(g) Crews, except as provided in Paragraph (d) above, will be deadheaded on the faster through freight trains or commercial transportation, i.e., passenger trains, buses, taxis, etc.

(h) Employees in intradivisional service who are ordered to appear at investigations at other than their home terminal will be paid deadhead mileage.

Section II.

All miles run over 100 shall be paid for at the mileage rate established by the basic rate for the first 100 miles or less.

(a) When crews are required to report for duty or are relieved from duty at point other than the on and off duty points fixed for the service established hereunder, the Carrier shall provide suitable transportation for the crews.

(b) At away-from-home terminals the Carrier will provide suitable lodging or an allowance in lieu thereof as required in the current Lodging Agreements. Commencing on the effective date of this Agreement, Carrier will furnish suitable lodging to all employees here involved and continuing until July 1, 1972. Subsequently thereto each employee will have the choice of being furnished suitable lodging or an allowance in lieu thereof, as required in the current Lodging Agreements, such choice to be made in writing not later than ten (10) days prior to July 1, 1972, and subject to change only on ten (10) days’ written notice prior to December 1 and June 1 of each year thereafter.

(c) At Richmond and Calwa if the distance between point of going on or off duty and the point nearest available change off point is in excess of 1/4 mile, transportation will be furnished.

(d) All crews who are entitled to transportation will be furnished transportation promptly, but no later than twenty (20) minutes after their tie up time, or the crew will be permitted to use commercial transportation and be reimbursed for same by the Carrier. The twenty (20) minute period provided for above will apply to the pick-up time of the first train crew member, however in no event will the last member of the train crew be picked up later than thirty (30) minutes after his tie up or he will be permitted to use other commercial transportation.

NOTE: For the territory between Richmond and Calwa the mileage question (mileage to make up the 100 mile basic day between terminals) will be submitted to arbitration for decision. If the employees prevail, the mileage in dispute will be allowed by the Carrier to each employee affected retroactive to the date that the new intradivisional runs commenced, April 7,1972.

Section III.

(a) Intradivisional Crews under this Agreement will not trade off trains between their initial and final terminals.

(b) In intradivisional service covered by this Agreement, crews will receive overtime rate after being on duty ten (10) hours in addition to mileage run.

(c) All other services of the home terminals will be protected by the respective extra boards with the exception of regular assignments between Calwa and Riverbank and Richmond.

Section IV.

(a) Each member of the crew will be allowed a $2.75 meal allowance after four (4) hours at the away-from-home terminals and another $2.75 allowance after being held an additional eight (8) hours until changed by later agreement.

(As revised by National Agreement of 8-25-78.)

(b) In order to expedite the movement of these intradivisional runs, the Carrier shall determine the conditions under which such crews may stop to eat. When crews are not permitted to stop to eat, members of such crew shall be paid an allowance of $1.50 for the trip. (See next Page)

Notwithstanding the above, crews who are required to make setouts and/or pickups at more than three (3) locations, exclusive of setting out bad order cars from their train, will be permitted to eat with notification to the dispatcher. In the event these crews do not eat they will be allowed the $1.50 allowance provided above.

Section VI.

This Agreement shall become effective 12:01 AM, June 10, 1972, and remain in full force and effect until changed in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended.

SAN BERNARDINO RUN THROUGH AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT

between

THE ATCHISON, TOPEKA AND SANTA FE RAILWAY

and its employees represented by the

UNITED TRANSPORTATION UNION

(Conductor’s, Trainmen and Yard men’s Committee)

IT IS AGREED:

Pursuant to Article IX, UTU National Agreement of October 31, 1985, The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company may establish interdivisional (ID) service for pool freight crews as set forth below:

TERMINALS

Interdivisional pool freight crews will operate between the terminals of Los Angeles and Barstow, and between Barstow and San Diego, California. Los Angeles will be the home terminal and Barstow and San Diego will be the away-from-home terminals for the interdivisional pools. Pool freight crews in interdivisional service will work first-in, first-out, will only protect ID run, and will not be used in turnaround service except as provided herein. San Bernardino will be eliminated as a terminal for pool freight crews.

LAYING OFF

Conductors and brakemen in interdivisional service will lay off at home terminal, except in case of emergency, such as illness or injury, and will report at home terminal only.

HELD-AWAY-FROM HOME TERMINAL

Crews in interdivisional pool freight service held at their away-from-home terminal will be paid continuous time for all time held after expiration of sixteen hours from the time relieved from previous duty exclusive of any time resulting from any member of the crew calling for rest, at the rate paid for last service, until called for service or ordered to deadhead, in which case HAFHT time shall cease at the time pay begins for such service, or when deadheading, at the time the train departs on its road trip. If transportation other than train is used for deadheading, HAFHT time shall cease at the time of departure of the other mode of transportation.

NOTE: If a crew is called and released, held time will not be broken. However, there will be no duplicate payment for held time and time on duty.

TRADING TRAINS

Interdivisional crews will not be required to trade trains in opposite directions.

FORMAL INVESTIGATIONS

Applicable schedule rules will apply to pool freight conductors and brakemen required by Carrier to attend formal investigation; however, a conductor or brakeman in interdivisional services, who is ordered by Carrier to appear for a formal investigation at a location other than his home terminal, will be compensated for deadhead in accordance with the October 31, 1985 TUTU National Agreement when dismissed or suspended.

MEALS EN ROUTE

In order to expedite the movement of these interdivisional pool freight runs, the Carrier shall determine the conditions under which crews may stop to eat. When crews are not permitted to stop to eat, they will be paid an allowance of $1.50 for the trip, unless they qualify for payment under the meals en route agreement.

BASIS OF PAY

All miles in excess of the miles encompassed in the basic day shall be paid for at a rate calculated by dividing the basic daily rate of pay in effect on October 31, 1985 by the number of miles encompassed in the basic day as of that time.

Current actual miles run are as follows:

Los Angeles - Barstow 149 miles

Barstow - San Diego 227 miles

Pool freight crews called for and departing the terminal in interdivisional service will be allowed the mileage terminal to terminal, except when the service is interrupted by an emergency such as flood, washout, major derailment, etc.; i.e., an Act of God, and pool freight crew is returned to the originating terminal. In that event, the crew will be placed first out after eight (8) hours rest, being given first consideration for deadhead to the home terminal. It is understood the foregoing does not modify the current call and release rule.

PROVIDING RELIEF FOR HOURS OF SERVICE LAW CREWS

In connection with relieving interdivisional pool freight crews tied up under the Hours of Service law, the following will prevail when it is necessary to call a road crew out of the terminal.

WESTBOUND TRAINS

Between Barstow and San Bernardino - ID Pool freight crew standing first out at

including San Bernardino Barstow
Between San Bernardino and Los Angeles
Between San Bernardino and San Diego
Extra board crew at Los Angeles or San Bernardino
Extra board crew at San Bernardino

EASTBOUND TRAINS

Between Los Angeles and San Bernardino, including San Bernardino
Between San Diego and San Bernardino, including San Bernardino
Between San Bernardino and Barstow

ID Pool freight crew standing first out at Los Angeles or extra board

Bernardino to Barstow and then de deadheaded home)

Extra board crew at San Bernardino (the extra crew would work through
San Bernardino to Barstow and then be deadheaded home)

ID pool crew standing first out at Barstow (see Note)

NOTE: When an ID crew is used to provide Hours of Service relief in this circumstance, the crew will be allowed actual miles run, with a minimum of a basic day’s pay, and will stand first out for service or deadhead subject to availability under the Hours of Service Law.

PROTECTING OTHER THAN ID SERVICE

All unassigned service, other than ID between Los Angeles and Barstow and San Diego will be protected by the Los Angeles and San Bernardino extra boards. Regular assignments will be protected by regularly assigned conductors and brakemen.

VACATIONS

A pool freight conductor or brakeman in interdivisional service will be permitted to advance the starting date of a scheduled vacation period to coincide with the start of layover days, but not to exceed three (3) days.

MOVING/REAL ESTATE

Article IX, Section 7 of the October 31, 1985 UTU National Agreement will be applicable to any conductor or brakeman whose principle residence was the San Bernardino area on August 31, 1987, and who is required to change his/her residence as a result of the implementation of this Agreement.

PROTECTION

Article IX, Section 7 of the October 31, 1985 UTU National Agreement will be made a part of this agreement.

SIDE LETTER NO. 1

Dear Sir:

This has reference to the Memorandum of Agreement establishing interdivisional service through San Bernardino, California.

All employees who resided within 30 miles of the on and off duty points at San Bernardino on November 8, 1987, will be covered under the moving/real estate provisions of this Agreement.

Qualified homeowners under Paragraph 1 above may elect the option of accepting a gross payment of $18,000 (less income taxes, etc.) In complete satisfaction of Sections 10 and 11 of the Washington job Protection Agreement.

A homeowner under Paragraph 1 who does not choose the option provided in Paragraph 2 may elect to have his home purchased by the Carrier under the following terms.

The homeowner employee will be paid the appraised value of his home as of November 1, 1990 as determined by two appraisers chosen by him from a list of qualified appraisers furnished by the Carrier. If the valuation of the home by the two appraisers is not within 5%, a third (3rd) appraiser will be utilized.

The employee will be paid the appraised value of his home, and in addition thereto, will be paid a comparable housing allowance equal to 50% of the difference (percentage) between the two locations (i.e., San Bernardino and Los Angeles as described below) applied against 50% the appraised value of his home, with a maximum payment of $15,000.00 upon delivery to the Carrier (or its nominee) a good and sufficient title to the property. The title will be furnished at the employee’s expense, as is customary in real estate transactions.

The comparable housing allowance is included in this agreement because of the home owners moving to comparable housing in a higher cost real estate area. This was determined by use of a qualified third party expert, selected by the parties and retained by the Company, who selected a standard type of home to use for cost comparison purposes in both locations. The third party expert then developed the average sales price of the homes in comparable socio-economic areas at both locations for them in a previous twelve-month (12) period. Calculations were made to determine the difference in average cost between the sari Bernardino area and comparable housing in the Los Angeles area. The difference in real estate between the two areas was 134.6%, and this figure will be used in the formula for the allowance.

As stated in Paragraph (b), an employee will be entitled to a comparable housing allowance equal to 50% of the difference (percentage) between the two locations (134.5%) applied against the fair value of the employee’s home but not to exceed $15,000.

The comparable housing allowance will apply only to homes purchased by the Carrier and will not be applicable if the employee elects to accept an optional allowance in lieu thereof under Paragraph 2. Employees qualifying for a $10,000 "finder’s feed" (see Side Letter No. 2) may also be entitled to comparable housing allowance; however, the combination of the two allowances will not exceed $15,000.

The provisions of this side letter will also apply to employees who own mobile/modular homes as their principal places of residence.

If an employee(s) holds an unexpired lease of a dwelling occupied by him as his home, the Carrier will protect him from any loss associated with breaking said lease in line with Section II(a), Paragraph 3 of WJPA.

If an employee(s) holds an unexpired lease of a dwelling occupied by him as his home, he may, in lieu of Paragraph 5 above, accept a cash option of $5000 (gross).

Any employee who avails himself of the provisions of either paragraph 3, 4, or 5 and changes his point of employment and permanent residence will be reimbursed for all expenses of moving his household and other personal effects and for the traveling expenses of himself and members of his family, including living expenses for himself and his family and his own actual wage loss during the time necessary for such transfers and for a reasonable time thereafter (not to exceed five (5) working days), used in securing a place of residence in his new location. No claim for expenses under this Section shall be allowed unless they are incurred within three (3) years from the date of implementation of the inter divisional run and the claim must be submitted within ninety (90) days after the expenses are incurred. Employees who relocate under Paragraphs 3, 4, or 5 will also be entitled to the $400.00 "lace curtain" payment as provided for under WJPA.

(See Next Page)

An employee who avails himself of the options provided for in Paragraph 2 or 6 must exercise such option in writing to the Carrier not later than ninety (90) days from the date this agreement is implemented or from the date an employee is qualified for the foregoing option provided it is within three (3) years from the date of implementation.

SIDE LETTER NO. 2

Dear Sir

This has reference to the proposed agreement to establish interdivisional pool freight service through San Bernardino.

This will confirm our discussions concerning the need for a longer call to ID crews for service out of Los Angeles. It was understood the Carrier will make every effort to give crews a three (3) hour call. No discipline will be assessed conductor or brakeman who is delayed in reporting for work by a documented freeway tie up.

SIDE LETTER NO. 3

Dear Sir:

This is in reference to the Memorandum of Agreement covering interdivisional service through San Bernardino, California.

The following handling will apply in connection with Section 11(a) of WJPA:

An employee may provide the Carrier a Revised Offer as defined in the booklet titled "Relocation Guide," a copy of which will be distributed to the employees, and collect a $10,000 cash incentive from the Carrier upon closing of the home sale. The Revised offer must satisfy the following criteria:

Carrier’s third party relocation agent must receive a bonafide offer;

Carrier’s third party relocation agent must be able to verify that financing has been secured by the Bonafide Purchaser;

The home must be listed as described on page 7 of the above mentioned booklet; and,

All conditions of Carrier’s third party relocation agents’ Offer Provision must be satisfied.

Should the Bonafide Offer be withdrawn for any reason the resulting home sale is not consummated, the employee may elect one of the following options:

The Guaranteed Offer will be reinstated and will be the price paid by the Carrier for subject property and the employee will not be eligible to collect the $10,000 cash incentive; or

The employee may elect Option No. 2 of the San Bernardino Interdivisional Agreement.

SIDE LETTER NO. 4

 

Dear Sir:

Referring to memorandum of Agreement covering interdivisional service through San Bernardino and the handling to be given those employees who may elect to apply Section 11(d) of WJPA.

It is understood the following would govern in the application of Section 11(d) of WJPA:

 

Carrier will make an offer to purchase an employee’s home in accordance with Section 3(a) of Side Letter.

 

An employee who desires to invoke Section II(d) must notify Mr. Richard Libra, Manager Employee Relations, Santa Fe Railway, 740 E. Carnegie Drive, San Bernardino, CA 92408-3571, in writing of his/her intent to do so within sixty (60) days of receipt of the written offer.

 

After an employee notifies Carrier of invocation of Section II(d), he/she will select a competent qualified appraiser and will furnish Mr. Libra a copy of the appraisal made by the employee’s appraiser.

 

1. Carrier will review the employee’s appraisal and advise whether it is acceptable. If not acceptable, Carrier will notify the employee of the name of the Company’s appraiser and will instruct that appraiser to contact the employee’s appraiser for the purpose of selecting a qualified third or neutral appraiser.

 

The Company will give the third and neutral appraiser a copy of the employee’s appraisal and a copy of one of the two or three Carrier’s appraisals with instructions to determine which one should be accepted as representing fair value of the home or make their own appraisal of the property and determination of fair value.

The salary and expenses of the third or neutral appraiser, including the expenses of the appraisal board, shall be borne equally by the parties to the proceedings. All other expenses shall be paid by the party incurring them, including the salary of the appraiser selected by such party.

 

The decision of the neutral appraiser shall be binding. If the employee elects not to accept the neutral’s appraisal of the employee’s home, the Carrier is under no further obligation in connection therewith.
