Trainmen in pool or irregular freight service may be called to make short trips and turnarounds with the understanding that one or more
turnaround trips may be started out of the same terminal and paid actual miles, with a minimum of a basic day; provided, (1) that the mileage
of all the trips does not exceed 100 miles; (2) that the distance from the terminal to the turning point does not exceed 25 miles; and (3) that the
trainmen shall not be required to begin work on a succeeding trip out of the initial terminal after having been on duty eight consecutive hours,
except as a new day, subject to the first-in, first-out article or practice.

(From Interpretation No. 1 to Supplement No. 25 to General Order No. 27.)
Question 104 - Must the crew actually leave the terminal before the expiration of eight hours?

departure from the terminal will be delayed beyond eight hours from going on duty on initial trip.
