MODIFICATION OF RULE 41

It is agreed that the provisions of Rule 41 of the current agreement between the Order of Railway Conductors and Brakemen and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Union Pacific Railroad Company - Eastern District, effective June 1, 1941, are hereby modified with respect to its applica­tion on the Second District, Grand Island (Hastings) - North Platte, Nebraska Division, to the extent herein provided:

Note: It is understood that unless otherwise specifically provided herein where reference is made to the home terminal Grand Island, the same conditions and provisions apply to Hastings when crews are operated into or out of Hastings.

1. Pool freight crews who are run around by other pool freight crews in Grand Island yard, or enroute between Grand Island and North Platte, will upon arrival at North Platte be given the same relative position on the list at North Platte that they held prior to leaving Grand Island, except that crews with less time to work than required by Rules 42(a) and (b) of current schedule, or who become first out before having required rest, shall stand first out after rest period, and upon return to Grand Island shall be given same relative position on board as was held prior to leaving Grand Island on last trip.

2. Pool freight crews who are run around by other pool freight crews in North Platte yard, or enroute between North Platte and Grand Island, will upon arrival at Grand Island be given the same relative position on the list at Grand Island that they held prior to leaving North Platte except as provided in Section 1.

3. (a) Crews earning 240 miles or more on any one - way trip either out of Grand Island or North Platte, will take a new position on the board as per their arrival at such terminal and will advise the crew caller accordingly.
(b) Crews making short turn - around trips out of Grand Island who earn 200 miles or less will stand first out after 12 hours unless they become first out prior to that time and will advise crew caller accordingly
(c) Crews making short turn - around trips out of North Platte will take position on list at North Platte as per arrival at North Platte, and will take position on list at Grand Island as per arrival at Grand Island on next trip.
(d) Crews tying up between terminals and receiving legal rest will take a new position on board as per arrival at such terminals.

4. When it is impossible to transport crews between Grand Island and Hastings, due to storms, flood, etc., making it necessary to establish a pool at Hastings, crews will take position on board per arrival at Hastings. When the pool is abolished, crews at Hastings will be given the same relative position on the list at Grand Island as they held prior to leaving home terminal on last trip. If it is not possible to take same relative position, the crew will be placed first out at Grand Island.

5. Crews requesting rest in accordance with Rule 71 will retain their position on the blue print board. In the event the crew is run around during rest period, they will be placed first out at the expiration of their rest period.

6. Crews that double out of far terminal and are relieved enroute due to insufficient time will be given same relative position on list at home terminal as held prior to departure from far terminal.

7. Crews added to pool in accordance with schedule Rule 38 will not be considered as run around when other pool crews arriving at Grand Island after 12:01 A.M. are placed ahead of them under the provisions of this agreement.

8. Upon arrival at Grand Island or North Platte, trainmen who have been run around as indicated in paragraphs 1 and 2, will notify proper officer as to their standing on the list at Grand Island or North Platte. The Company will not be subjected to penalty payments because trainmen fail to furnish information or furnish incorrect information. This does not, however, estop the management from taking disciplinary action when it is developed the employee have furnished incorrect information, and no runarounds will be claimed because crews did not depart in their first - in, first - out order at Grand Island or North Platte.

This agreement will become effective August 1, 1957 and supersedes the agreement dated Decem­ber 15, 1950. It will automatically terminate ten (10) days after service of notice by either party upon the other of desire to terminate it, at which time the schedule rules affected by this agreement will be in full force and effect.

Dated at Omaha, Nebraska, this third day of July, 1957.
