between the

(Territory Los Angeles-Salt Lake City) and the

ORDER OF RAILWAY CONDUCTORS AND BRAKEMEN
BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS
BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN AND ENGINEMEN
BROTHERHOOD OF RAILROAD TRAINMEN

(LT 4065 LE 2827)

The various agreements applicable to employes represented by the organizations parties to this agreement, provide that:

"Where ** an industry desires to locate outside of existing switching limits at points "There yard crews are employed, the company may assure switching service at such location and may perform such service with yard crews ** provided th3 switch governing the movement from the main track or tracks serving such industry is located at a point not to exceed four miles from the then existing switching limits **.”

For application of this rule the parties agree at yards where yard crews are employed the point or points where the "four miles" limitation begins should be stipulated. This agreement is made for that purpose.

The limits of the switching district at points where yard crews are employed are stipulated as follows:

LOS ANGELES

Eastward - Main Line M P 6.57
Southward - San Pedro Branch,
Southern Avenue M P 8.26
Northward - Pasadena Branch Avenue 35

YERMO

Eastward M P 164.42
Westward M P 161.02

LAS VEGAS
Eastward (Extreme east switch) M P 335.33
Westward M P 331.598

MILFORD
Eastward (Extreme east switch) M P 579.04
Westward (Extreme west switch) M P 575.26

Westward (Extreme west switch) M P 479.25

SALT LAKE CITY

Provo Subdivision M P 786.335 (just west of Sandy)
Second Subdivision M P 780.74

The movement by yard crews beyond the limits above stipulated incident to the performance of yard switching work shall not be construed as affecting the rights of either yard or road service employes. For illustration, the designated westward limit at Provo is the extreme west switch . A yard craw moving over the main track with an engine and cut of cars westward beyond this switch a sufficient
distance to clear the switch and thus permit utilization of the switch for eastward movement onto the adjacent track shall not be considered an infringement.


Dated at Salt Lake City, Utah , this 16th day of January,1959 .
