(Rule 31)
REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION:
COMPLETE AND ACCURATE FEDERAL TIE-UP
- Call sheet
COMPLETE AND ACCURATE FEDERAL TIE-UP

- Additionally must have ALL departure times, circ 7’s and mile posts.
- For departing the 25 mile zone, or the turning point if within the zone
- For arriving at your train
- For coming back into the 25 mile zone
- Arriving back at the terminal
- Keep track of who instructed you to perform the service (dispatcher’s initials, yardmaster’s or manager’s title and name)
Possible claims under this rule
25 Mile Zone
- When you depart 25 miles past the switching limits of your terminal.
New Day/Depart After 8
- Any time you depart the terminal after having been on duty for 8 hours.
- Note: A new day penalty for running over 100 miles inside the 25 miles zone, or for breaking the 25 mile zone would begin a "new day" and thus re-set the clock for the 8 hours provision
Accumulated Miles Inside 25 Mile Zone Totaling More Than 100
- If the total miles ran in both the bus and all trains inside the 25 mile zone totals more than 100 you are entitled to basic/new day. You become eligible for this claim @ the point you hit the 100 miles. For example if you are on your way back into town on your third train, and @ mp 222 your miles total 100, at that point you are eligible for the 130 mile claim.
- You will need to detail each bus ride and train up to that point, listing the to and from mile posts with the total miles inside the 25 mile zone from each train, along with the grand total.
- Also include the times for each departure/arrival, along with the time and mp that put you over 100 miles.
- Make certain the information on your claim matches the information on your federal tie-up
