Article 48
Self-Propelled Equipment
Section 1
A yard conductor (foreman) will be employed on on-rail self-propelled vehicles or machines operating within general switching limits provided
such machines have sufficient power to move freight cars.
This provision will not apply to the operation of self-propelled vehicles or machines in confined areas such as shop tracks, supply areas, tie
yards and so forth, except that with respect to such self-propelled machines now working in the confined areas where rules or practices
require the employment of a yard ground man, such rules and practices are preserved and the yard conductors (foreman's) rate will apply to
this service.
A. Rules or practices under which a locomotive engineer, or fireman where presently required, is employed on-rail self-propelled vehicles or
machines for the purpose of operating the machine in the performance of all the work for which such machines are designated are retained.
B. Except under the conditions herein specifically prescribed, operating employees need not be used on self-propelled vehicles or
machines. It should be noted in addition that this Article does not alter any existing rules or practices except as specifically stated herein.
C. Every employee deprived of employment as the immediate and proximate application of this Article, shall be entitled to the schedule of
allowances set forth in Section 7 (a) of the Washington Agreement of May 21, 1936; or to the option of choosing the lump-sum separation
allowance set forth in Section 9 of said Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, employees who do not elect to accept the lump-sum
separation allowance set forth in Section 9 of said Agreement if qualified, may elect within one year from the date of their furlough to prepare
themselves for some other occupation for which training is available (of the type approved by the Veterans Administration under the
Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1952), with the carrier paying 75 percent of the tuition costs of such training for a period not
exceeding two years. Whenever and to the extent that the United States Government makes provisions for retraining out of public funds, the
obligation of the carrier shall be reduced correspondingly. Those employees who elect to accept the lump-sum separation allowance set
forth in Section 9 of the Washington Agreement of May 21, 1936, will not be entitled to retraining benefits.
D. Nothing contained in this Article shall be construed to require the employment of engine and train service employees where not now
required.
