LOCAL RULE # 1 – FREIGHT SERVICE MOUNTAIN SUB.
Amendment to local rule 1 - 148 miles mountain sub & units miles chargeable - July 6 2004

This refers to our meeting convened in Revelstoke on October 16, 1995, to discuss matters specific to freight service on the Mountain Subdivision.

You pointed to the fact that recent adjustments to the pay structure as a result of the Adams Award have had a negative effect upon the earning potential of those employees in freight service on this territory and that some of those employees, given certain circumstances, now have limited opportunity to attain their monthly mileages within the allotted period.

In the interests of arriving at a mutually agreeable solution to the unique problems associated with freight service on the Mountain Subdivision, whereby trains initiate or terminate at Golden, together we resolved to standardize a method of pay for this service. This standardized method of pay will not apply to trains operated between Field and Revelstoke whose crews may be relieved or replaced at Golden.

I believe that the arrangements arrived at on an interim basis successfully addresses both our concerns and the time is now appropriate to incorporate our understanding as a local rule.

Employees in freight service on the Mountain Subdivision called to operate trains from Revelstoke to Golden and subsequently deadhead to Field, or vice versa, will be compensated as follows;

Ø A flat rate of 137 miles at the applicable rate will be paid except when the cumulative

total of the terminal times at Revelstoke and Golden plus the time deadheading between

Golden and Field exceeds 4 hours, in which case additional payment will be made on a

minute basis at pro rata rates for time in excess of 4 hours. Other provisions of the

collective agreements will continue to apply.

This understanding arose due to circumstances specific to the Mountain Subdivision and shall not prejudice or create precedent toward the payment of CCROU-represented employees at other locations.

In the case of a crew called in straightaway service who yards a train at Golden and then takes another train from Golden to the final terminal in a continuous tour of duty, it was agreed that the crew would be entitled to a flat rate of 148 miles with all time at Golden claimed in addition as a TJ claim. (eff. July 19/99)

In the case of a crew called in straightaway service with Golden as the initial or objective terminal for the train that are relieved of duty before completing the trip, it was agreed that the crew would make no less than 137 miles. (eff. July 19/99)

Locomotive Engineers called in combination turnaround service between Revelstoke and Golden with the deadhead portion either preceding or following the working portion of the trip will be paid for the trip under the terms of Local Rule #1 (eff. Aug 1/00). Back to Top of Page

LOCAL RULE # 2 – SHORT TRIP

Unassigned and spare locomotive engineers who make less than 175 miles in any class of service will return to their original position prior to being called.

Engineers called in TCS, regardless of the miles earned, will return to their original position prior to being called.

After the second consecutive short trip engineers will go to the bottom of the pool or spareboard, whichever applies.

A vacant turn in unassigned pools, filled by a spare locomotive engineer will be placed at the bottom of the respective pool on arrival at Revelstoke. If a locomotive engineer is carrying a closed turn and books a short trip, the short trip applies only to the engineer’s turn, the carried turn will drop to the bottom of the pool.

Upon completion of a short tour of duty, it is the responsibility of the locomotive engineer to ensure that the proper wage claim is submitted.

Engineers effected by this rule must advise the CMC Crew Dispatcher of their proper placement in their respective pool or spareboard on completion of tour of duty. It is understood that Engineers will have a reasonable amount of time (1 hour after completion of duty) to correct any error or omission.(eff. Oct 4/99)

No other RTE’s are allowed to reposition Locomotive Engineers, except an RTE from the crew repositioning the crew when tying up.

A locomotive engineer violating this rule will have his miles made on trip subsequent to being placed 1^st out in violation of this rule doubled.

The company will not be involved in claims resulting from incorrect information given by a locomotive engineer to notify the CMC Crew Dispatcher of their proper placement.

LOCAL RULE # 3 – CHANGE IN CALL

a) Locomotive engineers called for a train in straightaway service may have their calls changed

to deadhead service after reporting for duty. Calls for a train in straightaway service will not be changed unless necessitated by circumstances which could not be foreseen at the time of call and are causing a delay to the operation of trains.

b) In these circumstances deadheading will be performed by taxi or bus (if bus is within 45 minutes of change of call). All waiting time, from the ordered time until departure from the station, will be claimed on a minute basis at 12 ½ miles per hour.

LOCAL RULE # 4 – FIRST IN – FIRST OUT

This rule only applies to Spareboard Engineers at the Home Terminal and Locomotive Engineers called in turnaround service.

who came on duty first will be placed on the board first.

NOTE: Above also applies to two (2) or more spare locomotive engineers arriving at the same time.

At the Home terminal arrival at the outer main track switch establishes First in – First out. Locomotive engineer must be off duty and available for a 2 hour call unless no other engineer is available.

At the away from Home Terminal, Locomotive Engineer must be off duty and available for a 1 hour and 30 minute call unless no other engineer is available.

LOCAL RULE # 5 – NO SCOOP RULE

A Locomotive Engineer scooped by another Locomotive Engineer will be given their rightful turn on arrival at the Home or Away-From-Home Terminal.

This rule does not apply to Spareboard engineers arriving at the Home Terminal.

Locomotive Engineers called in TCS Service use the Outer Main Track Switch (OMTS) at the Away From Home Terminal (AFHT) to establish turn order for board placement at Revelstoke.

Under all circumstances the scooped engineer must be available for a two (2) hour call at the Home Terminal, and a one (1) hour and thirty (30) minute call at the Away from Home Terminal unless no one else available.

It will be the responsibility of the Locomotive Engineer being scooped to advise CMC Crew Dispatcher as to proper placement. Engineer will be allowed to have their turn repositioned after being scooped only up to the time that any rest booked has expired. (eff.Oct 4/99)

No other RTE(s) are allowed to reposition scooped Locomotive Engineers, except an RTE from the scooped crew repositioning the crew when tying up.

The Company will not be involved in or entertain payment of claims resulting from incorrect information given by a Locomotive Engineer or failure of a Locomotive Engineer to notify the CMC Crew Dispatcher of their proper placement.
