IT IS AGREED:

Section 1.

  1. An employee who has acquired seniority and established rights to road service as an engineer and who may be holding an assignment as an engineer (regular or extra) in yard service, or who may be holding an assignment as a fireman or hostler may be required by the Company to make one or more round trips in road freight service as an engineer at three (3) month intervals or as may otherwise be determined by the Company in order to retain his skills and qualifications for road freight service.
  2. The employee required to make such trip or trips as an engineer in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (a) hereof shall be paid therefore on the same basis as the engineer called for the service to handle the train. If necessary to deadhead to make such trip or trips, such deadheading will be paid for under existing rules.
  3. The provisions of the Engineer Instructor Agreement dated November 15, 1973 shall not apply when an employee is making a trip under the provisions of this agreement.

Note 1: In the implementation of paragraphs- (a) and (b), an engineer may be required to make such qualifying road trips on his designated “days off” or on regularly established work days of his regular assignment or while holding a regular assignment as fireman or hostler. When used off his regular assignment for such qualifying road trips, the employee will receive for such service not less than he would have earned on his regular assignment calculated from the time compensation begins to accrue while making such qualifying trips and ending when the employee resumes service on his regular assignment.

Note 2: The Company shall designate the service, territory, time, and the engineer with whom such qualifying trips shall be made.

Section 2 This agreement shall be effective December 1, 1973, and will remain in full force and effect until changed in accordance with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act.

Date at Omaha, Nebraska this 28th day of November, 1973.
