Dear Mr. Nelson:

This will confirm our discussions concerning the Conductor-Only Crew consist negotiations. 

With regard to Article III - Guaranteed Extra Boards, we agreed that the Second District Guaranteed Board at Portland is the primary source of supply for vacancies in pool freight service between Portland and Hinkle and that employees should be called from that board in all cases where they can protect the service consistent with Hours of Service Act provisions. However, we also agreed that it is important that vacancies at Hinkle be filled by fully rested employees to ensure the trains' arrivals at Portland within the Hours of Service. This being the case, we agreed that If it is not possible under usual and normal circumstances to deadhead an employee from Portland to Hinkle sufficiently in advance to be fully rested (or with enough working time to satisfy the train dispatcher), an employee from the Second District Guaranteed Board at Hinkle may be used to fill the vacancy without penalty. 

It was also agreed that an extra employee used from this Hinkle Board to Portland will be governed by the same conditions as extra employees working from Portland to Hinkle, except that Hinkle extra employees will not be held in Portland but will be deadheaded back to Hinkle on the first available transportation unless the employee chooses to obtain rest prior to deadheading, in which event existing procedures governing mark-ups in such circumstances will be followed. 

If the above properly sets forth your understanding of our agreement, please so indicate by signing in the space provided below. 

Yours truly,

L.A. Lambert
Director Labor Relations
