4.        The existing Pocatello - Green River Interdivisional Through Freight Agreement provision providing constructive miles for certain trainmen working in through freight service between Pocatello and Green River shall continue to be paid to those trainmen eligible for such payments on the day prior to implementation of this Agreement.

E.       In addition to the above, the following will govern in Zones 2 and 3:

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 the terminal and run on through to the scheduled terminal. Crews shall be paid an additional one-half (1/2) basic day for this service in addition to the miles run between the two terminals. If the time spent in this zone is greater than four (4) hours, then they shall be paid on a minute basis for all time consumed in the zone, in addition to the earnings of the assignment.

NOTE:         The "Twenty-Five Mile Zone" provision shall be applicable only at those locations where there is a
reciprocal or similar arrangement in the adjoining hub or location. For example, a Pocatello - Green River
through freight crew may not be used in a twenty-five mile zone east of Green River because there is not a
similar or reciprocal "Twenty-Five Mile Zone" agreement/arrangement at Green River.

2.        Nothing in this Agreement 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 road/yard service zones, interdivisional service crews performing service and deadheads between terminals, road switchers handling trains within their zones.

F.       Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, trainmen/yardmen who relocate from the Idaho Seniority District to Zone 2 (Northwest District (Oregon Division)) will be treated for vacation, payment of arbitrages, personal leave days, etc. as though all of their service on the Idaho Seniority District had been in the Northwest District (Oregon Division).
