RULE 50. RATES OF PAY.
(a) See current rate sheets for per mile and per day rates in effect for
conductors and brakemen for service paid local or way freight rate. Rate sheets
will be maintained to reflect national agreements.
(b) Trains loading or unloading way freight, handling supply trains,
working battery cars, spotting stock cars to load or unload, spotting and
unloading water cars, doing station or pool freight crews required to place cars
on two or more tracks when one track will hold the set out will be classed as
local or way 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. Replacing cars
displaced in picking up or setting out cars will
not be classed as switching.
(c) Local work will be confined to loca1 trains as far as possible.
(d) Crews on through freight trains will be allowed local rate of pay
when they are required to pick up car or cars at one intermediate point and set
the cars out 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 setout 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.
(5) Cars set out as described in Sections (3) and (4) also include cars
destined to the crew's terminal or beyond, if such cars are included in the one
set-out and handled by crew assigned to local service, in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this rule.
(e) Crews in through freight service required to pick up and/or set out a
car or cars at three (3) or more intermediate points between terminals in road
territory will be paid local freight rates for the entire trip.
