MODIFICATION OF RULE 41

It is agreed that the provisions of Rule 41 of the current agreement between the Order of Railway Conductors & Brakemen and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and Union Pacific Railroad Company, Eastern District, effective November 1, 1957, are hereby modified with respect to its application to the North - Platte - Sterling Freight Pool, Nebraska Division, to the extent herein provided:

1. Pool freight crews who are runaround by other pool freight crews in North Platte yard, or enroute between North Platte and Sterling, will upon arrival at Sterling be given the same relative position on the list at Sterling that they held prior to leaving North Platte, 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 arrival at North Platte shall be given same relative position on board as was held prior to leaving North Platte on last trip.

 2. Pool freight crews who are runaround by other pool freight crews in Sterling yard, or enroute between Sterling 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 Sterling on last trip, except as provided in Section 1.

 3. Crews on short turnaround, either out of North Platte or Sterling, will take their turn as per their arrival at either terminal.

 4. 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.

 5. 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.

 6. Pool freight crews making a short turn­around trip out of either terminal, or tying up between terminals, and receiving legal rest, will take position on board as per arrival at such terminal.

 7. Crews added to pool in accordance with Schedule Rule 38 will not be considered as run­around when other pool crews arriving at North Platte after 1 PM are placed ahead of them under the provisions of this agreement.

 8. Upon arrival at North Platte or Sterling, trainmen who have been runaround, as indicated in paragraphs 1 and 2, will notify proper officer as to their standing on the list at Sterling 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 North Platte or Sterling.

 This agreement will become effective February 15, 1967. 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 1st day of February, 1967.
