"Where mileage is allowed between the point of reporting for duty and the point of departure from the track on which the train is first made up, each mile so allowed will extend by 4.8 minutes the period of thirty (30) minutes after which initial terminal delay payment begins, except as provided in Rule 63.
"When road overtime accrues during any trip or tour of duty, in no case will payment for both initial terminal delay and overtime be paid, but whichever is the greater will be paid. "When a tour of duty is composed of a series of trips, initial terminal delay will be computed on only the first trip of the tour of duty." Section 3. Paragraph (a) of Rule 17, "Overtime", is modified to read: "(a) On runs of 100 miles or less, in all road service other than passenger, overtime will begin at the expiration of eight hours. On runs of over 100 miles, overtime will begin when the time on duty exceeds the miles run divided by 12-1/2, or in any case, when on duty in excess of 12 hours. Overtime will be paid for on the minute basis at 3/16ths of the daily rate per hour, according to class of engine or other power used." Section 4.

Disciplinary hearings involving an engineer who elects to retain his place of residence at Evanston, Wyoming under Option 1 or 2, Section 1, Part III of this Agreement, will be held at Evanston except where a majority of the crew involved resides elsewhere, in which event the hearing will be held at the terminal where a majority of the crew resides.

"PART XIII "Add Section 5, reading: 'Engineers who elect Option 1 under Section 1, Part III of this Agreement working in the Evanston-Ogden and Evanston-Green River pools will be placed first out at their away from home terminal not less than 8 hours after time tied up."' There has been some confusion about this provision. It was the intent of the parties that engineers electing Option 1 under Section 1, Part III, would not remain at the away from home terminal more than 8 hours from tie-up time without being placed first out; and that there was nothing to prevent such from being placed first out prior to the expiration of this 8-hour period.

The Memorandum of Understanding dated February 18, 1971 modified Part XIII by the addition of Section 5, to provide that Evanston engineers would stand first out at their away from home terminal not less than 8 hours after time tied up.

The February 18, 1971 Understanding also changed Section 2 of Part XV to read: "Turnaround service originating at Green River, Wyoming will be protected by engineers in the Ogden-Green River pool. Engineers used in turnaround service out of Green River will be placed first out not less than eight (8) hours after completion of turnaround trip, and will not be used for a second turnaround trip."
