This refers to the request in Mr. Sippel's letter of May 22, 1969 and correspondence from Mr. Ferryman ending with his letter of November 6, 1969 concerning modification of the Blue Print Board Agreement on the Second District.

IT IS AGREED:

The Blue Print Board Agreement dated July 3 1957 (effective August 1, 1957) covering the Second District between Grand Island (Hastings) North Platte is amended as follows:

Section 3(b) is modified to provide that

Extra conductors and brakemen used for service on the Ord‑Loup City Branches will be placed first‑out after 12 hours, regardless of miles run, unless they become first-out prior to that time.

Section 4 is modified by addition of the following provision ‑

When a separate pool is established between Hastings‑North Platte under conditions outlined in Section 4, crews who are required to make two or more trips North Platte to Hastings will, upon abolition of the separate pool, be placed on the board at Grand Island as per arrival at Hastings.

The foregoing modifications will be effective

February 8, 1970 and may be terminated by service

of 10 days written notice by any party on the others.
