Article 29
Terminal Delay - Freight Service
Section 1-Initial Terminal Delay
Initial terminal delay shall be paid on a minute basis to trainmen in freight service for all time in excess of 75 minutes computed from the time
of reporting for duty up to the time the train leaves the terminal at one-eighth of the basic daily rate, in addition to the full mileage, with the
understanding that the actual time consumed in the performance of service in the initial terminal for which an arbitrary allowance of any kind
is paid shall be deducted from the initial terminal time under this article.
NOTE: The phrase "train leaves the terminal" means when the train actually starts on its road trip from the yard track where the train is first
made up.
This article will not apply to pusher, helper, mine run, shifter, roustabout, belt line, transfer, work, wreck, construction, circus train (paid special
rates or allowances), road switcher (district runs), or to local freight or mixed service where switching is performed at initial terminal in
accordance with schedule rules.
Where mileage is allowed between the point of reporting for duty and the point of departure from the track on which the train is first made up,
each mile so allowed will extend by 4.8 minutes the period of 75 minutes after which initial terminal delay payment begins.
NOTE: Employees who establish seniority after October 31, 1985 are not entitled to Initial Terminal Delay.
Section 2
When road overtime accrues during any trip or tour of duty, in no case will payment for both initial terminal delay and overtime be paid, but
whichever is the greater will be paid.
Section 3
When a tour of duty is composed of a series of trips, initial terminal delay will be computed on only the first trip of the tour of duty.
Section 4 - Final Terminal Delay
In freight service all time, in excess of 60 minutes, computed from the time engine reaches switch, or signal governing same, used in
entering final terminal yard where train is to be left or yarded, until finally relieved from duty, shall be paid for as final terminal delay; provided,
that if a train is deliberately delayed between the last siding or station and such switch or signal, the time held at such point will be added to
any time calculated as final terminal delay.
NOTE: Employees who establish seniority after October 31, 1985 are not entitled to Final Terminal Delay.
Section 5
Where mileage is allowed between the point where final terminal delay time begins and the point where finally relieved, each mile so allowed
will extend the 60 minute period after which final terminal delay payment begins by the number of minutes equal to 60 divided by the
applicable overtime divisor (60/12.5 = 4.8; 60/12.75 = 4.7; 60/13 = 4.6; 60/13.25 = 4.5; 60/13.5 = 4.4, etc.).
Section 6
All final terminal delay, computed as provided for in this Article, shall be paid for, on the minute basis, at one-eighth (1/8th) of the basic daily
rate in effect as of October 31, 1985, according to class of service and engine used, in addition to full mileage of the trip, with the
understanding that the actual time consumed in the performance of service in the final terminal for which an arbitrary allowance of any kind is
paid shall be deducted from the final terminal time under this Article. The rate of pay for final terminal delay allowance shall not be subject to
increases of any kind.
After road overtime commences, final terminal delay shall not apply and road overtime shall be paid until finally relieved from duty.
NOTE: The phrase "relieved from duty" as used in this Article includes time required to make inspection, complete all necessary reports
and/or register off duty.
Section 7
When a tour of duty is composed of a series of trips, final terminal delay will be computed on only the last trip of the tour of duty.
Section 8
This Article shall not apply to pusher, helper, mine run, shifter, roustabout, transfer, belt line, work, wreck, construction, road switcher or
district run service. This Article shall
not apply to circus train service where special rates or allowances are paid for such service.
NOTE: The question as to what particular service is covered by the designations used in Section 8 shall be determined on each individual
railroad in accordance with the rules and practices in effect thereon.
Section 9
In local freight service, time consumed in switching at final terminal shall not be included in the computation of final terminal delay time.
