Article 20
Hours of Service
Section 1
Under the laws limiting the hours on duty, trainmen shall not be tied up unless it is apparent that the trip cannot be completed within the lawful
time; and not then, until after the expiration of 10 hours on duty under the Federal Law, or within two hours of the time limit provided by State
Laws if State Laws govern.
Section 2
If trainmen are tied up in a less number of hours than provided in the preceding paragraph, they shall not be regarded as having been tied up
under the law and their services shall be paid for under the pay schedule of the road.
NOTE: Sections 1 and 2 of this Article do not apply to work train service.
Section 3
When trainmen are tied up between terminals under the law, they shall again be considered on duty and under pay immediately upon the
expiration of the minimum legal period off duty applicable to the crew, provided the longest period of rest required by any member of the
crew, either eight hours or ten hours, shall be the period of rest for the entire crew.
Section 4
A continuous trip shall cover movement straightaway or turnaround from initial point to the destination when required to tie up. If any change is
made in the destination after the crew is released for rest, a new trip shall commence when the crew resumes duty.
Section 5
Trainmen tied up under the law shall be paid the time or mileage of their schedule from initial point to tie-up point. When such trainmen
resume duty on a continuous trip they shall be paid from tie-up point to next tie-up point or to terminal on the following basis: for mileage equal
to half a basic day or less, four hours or less - half of a basic day's pay; for more than half of a basic day or over four hours - a basic day's
pay; over eight hours or over a basic day - schedule rates. This does not permit trainmen to be run through terminals unless such practice is
permitted under the pay schedule.
Section 6
Trainmen tied up for rest under the law, and then towed or deadheaded into terminal, with or without caboose, shall be paid per Section 5,
the same as if they had run the train to such terminal.
Section 7
Trainmen tied up in obedience to law shall not be required to watch or care for engines or perform other duties while so tied up.
Section 8
When practicable, trainmen must receive a message over signature of the superintendent before working over 12 hours.

Yardmen will not be required to work in excess of 12 hours in compliance with the Hours of Service Law except in case of emergency and
only then when instructed to do so by the proper authority.
Section 10
Rest period will not be deductible unless it is four consecutive hours or more.
NOTE: Should the Hours of Service ever be returned to 14 or 16 hours, the organization reserves the right to revert back to the rules
applicable to those hours.
