A G R E E M E N T
between the
UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY-EASTERN DISTRICT
and the
BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS
PART I
ESTABLISHMENT OF INTERDIVISIONAL SERVICE
Section 1. In accordance with Section 1 of Article VIII of-the National Agreement dated May 13, 1971 and subject to the provisions of Section 2 of this Part I, the Company may establish interdivisional service as set forth below:
For the purposes of this Agreement the phrase “Interdivisional Service” means “Interdivisional, Interseniority District, Intradivisional and/or Intraseniority District Service (Freight or Passenger)” as used in Article VIII of the National Agreement dated May 13, 1971.
Section 2 Any of the runs set forth in Section 1, Part I above may be placed in effect by the Carrier upon service on the Organization of a 60-day written notice.
Section 3. The establishment of interdivisional service other than as specifically provided for in Section 1, Part I shall be subject to the provisions of Article VIII of the National Agreement dated May 13, 1971.
PART II
MILEAGE ALLOWANCES AND EQUALIZATION OF MILEAGE
Section 1. In interdivisional service all miles run over one hundred (100) shall be paid for at the mileage rate established by the basic rate of pay for the first one hundred (100) miles or less.
Section 2. The Superintendent of the Company, or is designated representative, and Local Chairmen of the BLE will meet periodically for the purpose of making whatever adjustments are necessary to maintain a proper equalization of mileage between the affected districts.
PART III
RULES CHANGES
On and after the effective date of written notice ‘ served pursuant to Section 2, Part I, of this Agreement the following rules changes will be effective only for engineers actually engaged in interdivisional service established pursuant to such written notice
(1) Initial terminal delay shall be paid on a minute basis to engineers in through freight service after thirty (30) 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 (1/8th) 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 thirty (30) minutes after which initial terminal delay payment begins, except as provided in Rule 63.
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.
On interdivisional runs of 200 miles or less, overtime will begin at the expiration of eight hours. On runs of over 200 miles overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 25, or in any case, when on duty in excess of 10 hours. Overtime will be paid for on the minute basis at 3/16ths of the daily rate per hour, according to class of engine or power used.
When overtime, initial terminal delay and final terminal delay accrue on the same trip, allowance will be the combined initial and final terminal delay time, or overtime, whichever is the greater.
EXAMPLE – A second district engineer is required to travel from North Platte to Council Bluffs for an investigation. He will be allowed deadhead miles from Grand Island to Council Bluffs to Grand Island.
PART IV
RETIREMENT ALLOWANCES
Section 1. Engineers on affected seniority districts may, at the Company’s option, be given an opportunity to resign and accept a retirement allowance. The amount of the retirement allowance will be based upon the age of the engineer as of his nearest birthday on the date such allowance is offered. The amount of the allowance will be:
Age At Nearest Birthday Allowance
| Age | Pay |
|---|---|
| 64 and under | 12 months’ pay |
| 65 | 10 months’ pay |
| 66 | 8 months’ pay |
| 67 | 6 months’ pay |
| 68 and over | 4 months’ pay |
In determining retirement allowances, the appropriate number of months’ pay will correspond with the earnings in the number of months provided immediately preceding the last day of compensated service.
For the purpose of this Agreement, the ages and birth dates of engineers will be those shown in the records of the Carrier.
Section 2. The acceptance of the retirement allowance shall be at the option of the eligible engineer to whom offered. Acceptance shall be in writing, shall be irrevocable and shall be received by the officer offering the allowance within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of such offer.
Section 3. An eligible engineer who elects to accept and is awarded an allowance shall thereupon terminate his employment relationship with the Carrier, and the effective date of such termination shall be that date so specified by the Carrier and such date shall be within thirty (30) days of the date of the offer unless otherwise agreed by the parties hereto. A minimum of fifteen (15) calendar days’ advance notice of the date of termination of employment shall be given the engineer offered a retirement allowance.
Section 4. The allowance provided in this Part IV shall be paid within sixty (60) calendar days of the date of the termination of employment relationship of the eligible engineer, except at the option of the eligible engineer, the allowance may be paid in two (2) or three (3) annual installments on the anniversary date of termination.
Section 5. The retirement allowance herein provided for will be in addition to any vacation allowance to which an engineer accepting said retirement allowance is entitled as of the date of his retirement.
PART V
EMPLOYS PROTECTION
Every engineer adversely affected either directly or indirectly as a result of the establishment of interdivisional service under this Agreement shall receive the protection afforded by Sections 6, 7, 8 and 9 of the Washington Job Protection Agreement of May 1936, except that for the purposes of this Agreement, Section 7(a) is amended to read 100% (less earnings in outside employment) instead of 60% and extended to provide period of payment equivalent to length of service not to exceed 5 years and to provide further that allowances in Sections 6 and 7 be increased by any subsequent general wage increases.
PART VI
CHANGES OF RESIDENCE
Any engineer required to change his residence under this Agreement shall be subject to the benefits contained in Sections 10 and 11 of the Washington Job Protection Agreement and in addition to such benefits shall receive a transfer allowance of four hundred dollars ($400.00) and five working days instead of the “two working days” provided by Section 10(a) of said Agreement. Under this Section, change of residence shall not be considered “required” if the reporting point to which the employee is changed is not more than 30 miles from his former reporting point.
PART VII
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 1. When an engineer engaged in interdivisional service is required to report for duty for an interdivisional service train or is relieved from duty on an interdivisional service train at a point other than the on and off duty points fixed for the service established hereunder, the Company shall authorize and provide suitable transportation for the engineer.
NOTE: Suitable transportation includes Company owned or provided passenger carrying motor vehicles or taxi, but excludes other forms of public transportation.
Section 2. When, in the judgment of the Company, it is necessary because of engineers operating over unfamiliar territory, pilots may be called to accompany such engineers for such period and over such territory determined by the Company.
Section 3. Non-interdivisional service will continue to be manned by engineers from the seniority district over which such non-interdivisional service operates.
Section 4. On interdivisional runs established under this Agreement engineers will be allowed a $1.50 meal allowance after 4 hours at the away-from-home terminal and another $1.50 allowance after being held an additional 8 hours.
Section 5. In order to expedite the movement of interdivisional runs, crews on runs of 100 miles or less will not stop to eat except in cases of emergency or unusual delays. For crews on runs of more than 100 miles, the Carrier shall determine the conditions under which such crews may stop to eat. When crews on runs of more than 100 miles are not permitted to stop to eat, members of such crews shall be paid an allowance of $1.50 for the trip.
Section 6. Engineers called for interdivisional service and not used shall be allowed 50 miles and stand first out; and if held on duty to exceed four hours, such engineer shall be allowed 100 miles and stand first out and shall be restored to his same relative position on the pool board at first opportunity.

Dear Sir,
This will confirm our understanding that in the event the Company and the BLE reach agreement without resort to arbitration on the mileage allowances to be paid engineers in interdivision al service on the four territories where such mileage allowances have not yet been settled, the mileage allowances so agreed to will also be paid to firemen in service as of this date but not subject to the BLE Agreement dated December 16, 1971 when such firemen are engaged in interdivisional service as engineers, provided such firemen are entitled to the same or similar mileage allowances when working in interdivisional service as firemen pursuant to any subsequent agreement provisions which may be entered into between the Company and the UTU(E).

MODIFICATION OF INTERDIVISIONAL
RUNS AGREEMENT DATED DECEMBER 16, 1971
***********************************************************************
It is agreed the Interdivisional Runs Agreement dated December 16, 1971 and supplements thereto are changed to the extent indicated below:
(1) Part VI “Changes of Residence” of the main December 16, 1971 Agreement is changed to read:
Section 1. Any engineer required to change his residence under this Agreement shall be subject to the benefits contained in Sections 10 and 11 of the Washington Job Protection Agreement, except that an engineer qualifying for a transfer allowance and the 5 working days allowance under Section 5 of Article VIII of the National Agreement dated May 13, 1971 will, instead of those allowances, be allowed a. lump sum of $1.,000. Also, any such engineer who is a ‘home owner’ shall be allowed $1,000 as an offset to a possible higher real estate market at his new location. Under this Section, change of residence shall not be considered ‘required’ if the reporting point to which the employee is changed is not more than 30 miles from his former reporting point.
NOTE: ‘Home owner’ as used herein means an employee who, on the date of the written notice referred to in Section 2, Part I of this Agreement: owns his own home or who is purchasing his own home under a land contract and who, as a result of the application of this Agreement, is required to change his place of residence within the meaning of Sections 10 and 11 of the Washington Job Protection Agreement and Section 1 of this Part VI.
Section 2.
(a) Any engineer whose home terminal is changed as a result of the application of this Agreement, but who does not immediately change his place of residence, will be allowed 10 cents per mile driving allowance to and from his new home terminal until he changes his place of residence, but in no event will he be entitled to receive such driving allowance for a period of more than 60 days from the effective date of the written notice referred to in Section 2, Part I of this Agreement.
(b) Any engineer whose home terminal is moved a distance of less than 60 miles as a result of this Agreement must, within the 60-day period referred to in Paragraph (a) above, elect in writing and file such election with the Superintendent of the Company and Local Chairman of the BLE whether he will change or not change his place of residence to his new home terminal. In the event any such engineer elects not to change his place of residence or fails to make an election within the 60-day period referred to above he will thenceforth be allowed a $5.00 driving allowance for each round trip to and from his new home terminal, which driving allowance shall be in lieu of any and all other benefits to which he otherwise may have been entitled under Section 1 of this Parr VI.”
(2) The following sections are added to Part VII “Miscellaneous Provisions” of the main December 16. 1971 Agreement
Section 8. For a period of 3 months from the effective date of the written notice referred to in Section 2. Part I of this Agreement, an engineer who works in interdivisional service will be entitled to his pro rata portion of a monthly guarantee of 3700 miles for each full calendar day on which he works in such interdivisional service.
Section 9. An employee returning to active service as an engineer from leave of absence, discipline, promotion to an official position with the Company or full time assignment as a representative of the BLE will be given the options and resulting benefits provided for in this Agreement to the extent he qualifies therefore, with time limitations contained herein running from the date of his return to active service.
Section 10. An engineer in interdivisional service having time to work under the Hours of Service Act will not be required to exchange trains with an engineer who is on short time under the Hours of Service Act. In the event of non-compliance with this Section 10 the engineers who are required to exchange trains will be allowed a penalty payment of 100 miles and will be restored at the first opportunity to their same relative position on the board.”
(3) Section 1 of “Memorandum of Understandings” dated December 16, 1971 dealing with suitable lodgings and transportation is changed to read:
Section 1. Suitable lodgings will be provided for engineers in interdivisional service. Also, suitable transportation to and from lodging point will be provided for engineers in interdivisional service where the designated lodging facility is not within one mile of the register point.
NOTE 1: ‘Suitable lodging’ for employees in interdivisional service will consist of a single occupancy room with a bath or shower, a wash basin, two chairs and a writing table. The room will be cleaned and serviced between each occupancy. The room shall be adequately cooled or heated where climatic conditions at the particular location: normally require such cooling or heating. This is will not apply to Company Clubhouses and where there are no facilities reasonably available which qualify as ‘suitable lodging’ as described herein, the Company will have one year from the effective date of the written notice referred to in Section 2, Part I of the Interdivisional Runs Agreement to provide such suitable lodging.
This will not estop the parties from working out an equitable allowance in lieu of providing suitable lodging.
NOTE 2: Suitable transportation includes Company owned or provided passenger carrier motor vehicles or taxi, but excludes other forms of public transportation.
At North Platte, while the existing lack of public transportation persists the Company will there provide shuttle service at regular intervals for engineers engaged in interdivisional service between the register point and the designated lodging facility. In the event public transportation becomes available at North Platte the provisions of Section 1 will apply.”
(4) In the application of Part V “Employee Protection” the time limit for initiating claims by displaced employees will be 180 days (instead of 90 days) from the date of the effective date of the written notice referred to in Section 2, Part I.
(5) If the procedures set forth in Part IX “Implementing Procedure” are not working out satisfactorily to either party to this Agreement after 90 days after the effective date of the written notice referred to in Section 2, Part I of the Agreement, the parties signatory hereto will meet to formulate a mutually agreeable procedure for using crews.
These changes are effective June 1, 1972.

Dear Sir:REDUCTION OF TURNS- INTERDIVISIONAL SERVICE
This has reference to the Agreement dated July 2, 1970 entitled “ASSIGNMENT TO POOL TURNS WITH OR WITHOUT FIREMEN,” under which certain rights of engineers are determined by whether or not there is a fireman on the turn.
The provisions of that Agreement do not adapt themselves satisfactorily to those districts on which interdivisional service has been implemented; therefore:
IT IS AGREED:
The provisions of the Agreement dated July 2, 1970 entitled “ASSIGNMENT TO POOL TURNS WITH OR WITHOUT FIREMEN” are modified for application to engineers in interdivisional service only as follows:
When the number of turns in an interdivisional freight pool is reduced, the turn held by the junior engineer will be removed, without regard to whether or not there is a fireman on such turn.

Dear Sir:
This refers to our discussion in conference on December 17, 1974 regarding all deadhead miles in interdivisional service to be allowed at the basic rate and meal allowance enroute while deadheading by bus.
All mileage at the basic rate of pay is being allowed when deadheading in interdivisional service by bus.
The $1.50 allowance, as provided for in Part VII, Section 5 of the December 16, 1971 BofLE Interdivisional Service Agreement will be allowed to engineers deadheading by bus in those instances when, in accordance with the above-mentioned section, such engineers are not afforded an opportunity to eat enroute. However, in those instances when a deadheading engineer does have an opportunity to eat, such engineer is not entitled to receive the payment provided for in Part VII, Section 5.
However this is not determinative with respect to the payment of future similar claims, which Carrier may determine to be without merit on the basis of interpretations rendered hereafter by competent tribunals.
Yours truly,
