NYD UTU 9/9/08
li. New Operations:
The following new operations may be implemented
accordance with the provisions set forth in this Article II:
in
1. Eliminate all current Kansas City Hub assignments with home
terminal at Ft. Madison/Quincy. The home terminal for these
assignment(s) will be at Chicago and/or Rochelle. Ft.
Madison/Quincy will be the away-from-home-terminals.
Kansas City Hub and Eastern 1 Seniority District employees
shall operate into and out of Ft. Madison/Quincy consistent
with Local and National Agreements.
Ft. Madison/ Quincy will be joint away-from-home terminals for
both the CNW Eastern 1 District and the Kansas City Hub.
2. The following new operations will be established:
Chicago Terminal Complex to Ft. Madison
Chicago Terminal Complex to Quincy
Rochelle to Ft. Madison
Rochelle to Quincy
These new operations include all Union Pacific main lines,
branch lines, industrial leads, yard tracks, trackage rights and
stations between or located at the points indicated, including,
but not limited to, all trackage rights over which Union Pacific
possesses operating rights. Employees operating between
any of the above listed routes may utilize any combination of
Union Pacific tracks or trackage rights, in any direction.
Example: A crew home-terminaled in
Chicago, assigned to operate over the BNSF
trackage rights, picks up a train at Global 1
and may traverse through Rochelle to Ft.
Madison, through the Edelstein connection.
3. The existing trainmen’s pool home-terminaled in Ft. Madison
and operating to Chicago over the BNSF trackage rights, and
it’s supporting extra board will be abolished. All pool(s) and
extra boards will operate out of the Chicago Terminal Complex
and/or Rochelle. The Carrier shall designate the on and off
duty point(s) for all pools and extra boards. The Carrier shall
determine the number of assignments needed, and shall
establish a supporting extra board at each location. The
NYD UTU 9/9/08
Carrier may establish single or multiple pools. If home
terminals are established at both Rochelle and Chicago, they
will be operated independently from the other at the home
terminal. Employees in this service at the away-from-home
terminals of Ft. Madison/Quincy will be maintained on separate
lists, and may be called to operate to either Rochelle or
Chicago, without penalty.
Whether operating with single or multiple home terminal
pools, employees in this service may be deadheaded
between Chicago (CTC) and Rochelle for service to/from Ft.
Madison/Quincy.
