ITEM 28

Rule 28 "Eating Enroute" reads as follows:

"Conductors and brakemen in freight service will be allowed time for meal between terminals when they have been on duty five hours and it is apparent the trip cannot be completed within eight hours, provided they notify the dispatcher sufficiently in advance if possible to avoid delay to other trains."

There are no eating facilities readily available to trainmen on the coal turns working between Rawlins and Black Buttes.

It is therefore agreed:

"In order to expedite the movement of coal turns between Rawlins and Black Buttes, crews will not stop to eat except in cases of emergency or unusual delays. The Company shall determine the conditions under which crews may stop to eat. When crews are not permitted to stop to eat, they shall be paid an allowance of $1.50 for the trio."
