   Item 1 of the Pooling Caboose Agreement dated January 24, 1948 provides in part: "At points where rooming houses are not maintained by the Company, the Company will prior to the pooling of cabooses in territory where not now pooled determine that eating and sleeping accommodations are available for employes affected"
 
   It is agreed that if and when cabooses are pooled through Hastings, Nebraska, and accommodations are not available as con templated by Item 1 of agreement of January 24, 1948, above quoted, transportation to Grand Island will be provided by the Company either on freight trains, passenger trains or by bus or auto mobile to crews in pool freight or unassigned service after release at Hastings on trips from North Platte and likewise to
Hastings for crews called at Grand Island for trip Hastings to North Platte.

Where, due to storms, floods, etc., it is not possible to transport the crews from Hastings to Grand Island, the crews arriving Hastings will remain at Hastings and take their turn out on trains operated out of that point to North Platte, In such instances, Hastings will be considered the away-from-home-terminal and such crews will be compensated in accordance with the provisions of the held-away-from-home-terminal role. Under these
conditions, crews at Hastings or Grand Island will not be considered run-around.

Crews run from North Platte to Hastings and transported to Grand Island will take their turn on the board at Grand Island, if available, as per arrival at Hastings.

No compensation will be allowed crews transported by the Company from Hastings to Grand Island, or Grand Island to Hastings.

Crews will be called at Grand Island, as nearly as practical, two hours prior to time required to report for duty at Hastings.
 
This agreement will automatically terminate when accommodations as contemplated by Item 1 of agreement of January 24, 1948,above quoted, are available.
