VI.           AGREEMENT COVERAGE  

A. Trainmen working in Zone 1 shall be governed, in addition to the provisions of this Agreement, by the Collective Bargaining Agreement selected by the Carrier, including all addenda and side letter agreements pertaining to that agreement and previous National Agreement/Award/implementing Document provisions still applicable. Except as specifically provided herein the system and national collective bargaining agreements, awards and interpretations shall prevail. None of the provisions of these agreements are retroactive unless specifically provided for herein. The Carrier has selected the UP Oregon UTU Agreement as the surviving CBA in Zone 1. 

B. General Conditions for Terminal Operations. 

1.             Initial Delay and Final Delay will be governed by the governing CBA, including Duplicate Pay and Final Terminal Delay provisions of the 1985 and 1991 National and Implementing Agreements. 

2.             Trainmen will be transported to/from their trains and their designated on/off duty points in accordance with Article VIII, Section 1 of the October 31, 1985 National Agreement. The Carrier shall designate the on/off duty points for trainmen and in keeping with provisions of the governing CBA the on/off duty point shall be the same location. 

3.             The current application of National Agreement provisions regarding roadwork and Hours of Service relief under the combined road/yard service Zone, shall continue to apply. Yard crews may perform such service in all directions out of their terminal. 

                C. General Conditions for Pool Operations 

The terms and conditions of the pool operations set forth in Article III shall be the same for all pool freight runs. The terms and conditions are those of the governing CBA as modified by subsequent national agreements, awards and implementing documents and those set forth below. 

             D.  In addition to the preceding the following will govern in the area covered by this agreement: 

1. Twenty-Five Mile Zone - At all home and away from home terminals, both inside and outside the Hub, pool crews may receive their train up to twenty‑five miles on the far side of their initial terminal and run on through to their objective (final) terminal. Such Crews shall be paid an additional one-half (1/2) basic day for this service in addition to the earnings of the assignment. If the time spent in this 25 mile Zone is greater than four (4) hours, they shall be paid on a minute basis for all time consumed in the Zone, in addition to the earnings of the assignment. 

NOTE: At Hinkle this provision will not apply unless Zone 2 is covered with a merger agreement/award with similar provisions. 

2. Displacement - Employees with displacement rights exercising in pool freight service shall place into the pool at the home terminal in the last out position at which time the junior pool freight trainman will be removed. If such junior pool freight trainman is first out, on-duty or at the away-from-home terminal, such junior trainman will be removed from the pool following tie-up at the home terminal. 

3. Runaround - A terminal runaround occurs when trainmen from the same pool, going to the same destination, depart the same yard in other than the order called and both trains have their power attached to their train. 

"Depart" means that a train has started moving on the track it was made up in. 

Example 1: Two trainmen are called on duty in the Portland-Hinkle pool at Portland. The first out trainman receives his train at Barnes Yard and the second out trainman receives his train at Albina Yard. There cannot be a terminal runaround because the trainman did not depart from the same yard. 

Example 2: Two trainmen are called on duty in the Portland‑Hinkle pool at Portland and both trainmen receive their trains at Albina Yard. If both trains have their power attached a terminal runaround can occur.

Example 3: Same set of facts as example 2, however, one crew is required to go to the mechanical facilities to obtain all or part of their power. If the second crew departs the yard prior to the first crew returning to their train and putting their power on it no runaround has occurred. 

Example 4: Two trainmen are called from the same extra board and the first one is called Portland-Seattle and the other is called Portland-Hinkle.  No runaround can occur even if they depart from the same yard.  

NOTE: Yards for purposes of application of this runaround provision at Portland shall be as follows: 

1. Albina: East Portland/ St. John Jct.
2. Barnes
3. Rivergate
4. Terminal 6
5. Kenton/Champ
6. Fir/Troutdale
7. Brooklyn: East Portland/MP765.01

E. Hours of Service Relief/Turnaound Service.  

                1. Hours of Service relief: Hours of service relief at both the home and away from home terminals will be handled by extra boards when available. Should an extra board be exhausted, a made up crew will be used in accordance with vacancy procedures of the governing CBA at home terminals. At away from home terminals if pool crews are used for hours of service relief due to unavailability of extra men, they will be placed first out for the next straight away trip (or deadhead) to their home terminal and will not be used for a second hours of service relief or turnaround if other crews (extra or regular) are rested and available.

                  Extra trainmen used for hours of service relief may be used for multiple trips in one tour of duty in accordance with provisions of the governing CBA. Extra boards, once consolidated may handle this service in all directions out of a terminal. 

                2. Turnaround service: Turnaround service (other than hours of service relief) will be handled in accordance with provisions of the governing CBA. 

            3. Nothing in Sections D, 1, and E prevents the use of other crews to perform work currently permitted by prevailing agreements, including, but not limited to yard crews performing Hours of Service relief within the road/yard Zone, ID crews performing service and deadheads between terminals, road (traveling) switchers, handling trains within their Zones and using a trainman from a following train to work a preceding train and payments required by those prevailing agreements shall continue to be paid when this work is performed.
