IT IS AGREED that the following exception shall apply to Article IV - Train Length Limitation for Reduced Crews of the Crew Consist Agreement dated June 29, 1984 -----
"Car Limit Exception. Trains of seventy- two to one hundred twenty-one cars and not exceeding 6,840 feet in length, including caboose(s), such as unit trains (empties in connection with unit trains), piggyback, grain, coal, ore, gravel, mail trains, and through freight (combination commodity) trains operated from terminal to terminal intact without picking up, or setting out (except bad order cars from their own train), or doing switching enroute, may be operated with one conductor and one brakeman. However, a reduced crew of one conductor and one brakeman will not be used on such trains when protected employes are available at the location of the protecting extra boards or when a protected employe has exercised seniority to the blankable (blanked) second brakeman position on the crew handling such trains."

NOTE: Any crew of such trains required to pick up, set out (except bad order cars from their own train), or perform switching enroute will entitle the conductor and brakeman of the reduced crew to one-half each of the amount that would have been earned by the second brakeman had he been a member of the crew, which will be in addition to all of their other earnings. Also, the conductor and brakeman on such train will be paid the special allowance and the Productivity Fund will be credited.
