Dear Mr. Nelson:

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

In order to compose several questions with regard to yard transfer assignments, the following is agreed: 

                1. Upon re-bulletining of assignments pursuant to Article VI, each yard transfer assignment will generate one Tier I Reserve Board position in the same manner as re-bulletined Conductor-Only pool turns. In addition, should additional yard transfer assignments be bulletined, the Tier I Board will be increased proportionately; that is, one additional yard transfer assignment will generate one additional position on the Tier I Board. If the number of yard transfer assignments is decreased, the number of Tier I positions will, likewise decrease but will not drop below the level established at the time of implementation of the Agreement. 

                2. Except as set forth in Article I - Part 3(ii), "Foreman-Only" yard transfer assignments will not be required to perform "work events" as contemplated in "Conductor-Only" operations. 

                 3. "Foreman-Only" yard transfer assignments may be required to setout bad order car(s), not to exceed one straight set out of said cars(s). If additional movements are required to remove a bad order car(s), a switch crew must be utilized.

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

Yours truly,

L. A. Lambert
Director Labor Relations
