RULE 43. DOUBLING HILLS.  (a) where in through freight service the published or established tonnage rating of a locomotive is exceeded with the intention of doubling, the double shall be considered a lap back trip not made in emergency and engineers making the double will be paid in accordance with Rule 28.

(b) No extra or arbitrary payment for doubling hills will be made to engineers in helper or work train service, assigned or unassigned.

(c) Beet Train and Log Run Assignments. Where necessary to double a hill account handling tonnage in excess of the rating of the engine on beet train or log train assignments, engineers will be paid actual miles or hours consumed in making the double, with a minimum of one hour or 12 1/2 miles, in addition to all other time allowances for that trip or day’s work and without any deductions therefrom, the mileage of such double, not to be taken into account in computing trip mileage.

(d) Assigned Local Freight and Mixed Train Service. Where the published or established rating of the locomotive is exceeded with the intention of doubling, an allowance of fifty (50) miles per trip to cover all time consumed in doubling will be paid in addition to all other time for the trip, provided, however, that no additional payment for doubling will be made on locals assigned by bulletin to make two (2) or more trips out of initial terminal (one of which may be to a point enroute), unless it is necessary to double because tonnage on a single trip is in excess of the rating of the locomotive on such trip.

NOTE: Where the bulletined assignment covers a roundtrip, such as a local assigned from “A” to “B” and return and train is required to double in both directions, the allowance of fifty (50) miles will apply in each direction.
