Rule 43: Calling Crews

RULE 43. (a) Extra Conductors--Freight Service. When filling vacancy in position of conductor in all classes of freight service, the senior promoted brakeman of the district, available at calling time, will be used. Extra conductors holding an assigned run as brakeman will not be used as conductor unless they have indicated in writing their desire to be called for extra conductors' work.  The written notice shall remain in effect until terminated in writing and in no case can a change be made for less than a period of 30 days.  Extra conductor will fill vacancy in position of conductor on his own assignment, seniority permitting.

 (b) Extra Brakeman--Freight Service.   (1) Extra brakemen will be run first in, first out of terminal where extra boards are maintained, except that when filling vacancy on a run which ties up at a point where no extra list is maintained, the extra brakeman will remain on the run until displaced by the regular brakeman, except as provided in Rule 44.

 (b)(3) Extra brakemen laying off of their own accord will not be called for service in less than 24 hours from the time of layoff if other extra brakemen are available.
