Dear Sir: This refers to the "South Morrill-Gering-North Platte Operations" Agreement. It is understood this coal pool operation will not operate west of South Morrill. In the application of Paragraph 7 of that Agreement, the Carrier will furnish the accurate mile post figure for the arrival point at South Morrill as soon as it is known. In addition, a mile post figure will be provided for the arrival point at Northport as soon as it is known. In the further application of Paragraph 7, it is understood the penalty payment shall terminate when the actual straight-away movement to Gering begins.

Dear Sir: This refers to the "South Morrill-Gering-North Platte Operations" Agreement. In the application of Paragraph 9 of that Agreement, it is understood Rule 42 of the basic Agreement shall be changed as follows: the mileage reference in Paragraph (a) shall be changed to read 20 miles per hour and the mileage reference in Paragraph (b) shall be changed to read 25 miles per hour. Yours truly, R. D. MEREDITH

Mr. F. A. Garges Dear Sir: This refers to the "South Morrill-Gering-North Platte Operations" Agreement. It is understood that a violation of Paragraph 5 of that Agreement will result in the following penalty: a day's pay to the crew performing the work and a day's pay to the first-out extra crew. There is, however, one exception to this provision. Because of contractual obligations to the Burlington Northern (Northport operations) and to the power plants (South Morrill operations), it will be necessary for pickups to be made under the following circumstances: (1) The BN requires the UP to deliver complete trains (110 cars) at Northport. Should a Northport train not be a complete train, said train may pick-up (without penalty) a sufficient number of cars to make the train a complete train. (2) The power plants require their cars be kept together. Should an AP&L train, for example, set-out a bad order car enroute, after that car is repaired it may be picked-up (without penalty) by another AP&L train. The car to be picked-up and the cars in the train making the pick-up must be alike. An AP&L train may pick-up an AP&L car and a Houston train may pick-up a Houston car; a Houston train cannot pick-up an AP&L car. It is not the Carrier's intent to have trains in the South Morrill-North Platte operation perform pick-ups beyond the exceptions set forth above. It is not the Carrier's intent to have trains in the South Morrill-North Platte operation perform local work.
