Dear Gentlemen:
This is to confirm our discussions concerning the issue of when a trainman is “double deadheaded” (deadheaded to the away-from-home terminal/outside point and deadheaded back to
the home terminal) while in freight service.
It was agreed that a trainman so “double deadheaded” will be allowed full miles for the return deadhead (from the away-from-home terminal/outside point to the home terminal). It was further agreed the term “full miles” for purposes of this understanding is the actual road miles of the deadhead with a minimum of a basic day for deadheads of eight (8) hours or less for trainmen hired before October 31, 1985, and a basic day for deadheads of eight hours or less for trainmen hired after October 31, 1985.
If the foregoing correctly sets forth our understanding, please affix your signature in the space provided below.
Yours truly,
L. A. Lambert
Director Labor Relations
AGREED:
R. E. Carter
