Calling Crews. The governing factor in making calls will be the time the engineer is required to report for duty.
Acknowledgment of Call. The caller will be provided with a book showing the time and train for which engineers are called, in which engineers will sign their names and time called. If called by telephone, the caller will make this record.
Calling Limit. Calling limits will be three miles.
Notified of Probable Destination. Engineers will be notified at the time they are called of the probable destination of the train. It is understood that the person calling may give incorrect information and that there will be no penalty or extra expense to the Company for failure to comply with this provision.
Called and Not Used. When called and not used, engineers will be allowed fifty (50) miles and stand first-out. If held on duty in excess of four (4) hours, one hundred (100) miles will be allowed and the engineer will stand last-out. When the senior available freight engineer is called for extra passenger service out of the home terminal and not used, and his regular turn departs before release, one hundred (100) miles will be allowed. If called and released before leaving the home terminal or place where called, no compensation will be due.
Time and Mileage Begins and Ends. In all classes of road service, an engineer’s time will commence at the time required to report for duty and will conclude when the engine is placed on the designated track or the engineer is relieved by a hostler at the terminal.
