Final Terminal Overtime

[NW Mailing List]

Jeff, Jimmy -
 
The recent discussion of Boaz pusher siding brings  up
some questions.   Certainly there have  been some
changes in the contract lately.  Do crews  still get
overtime for final terminal delay ?  Think it  varied 
terminal-to-terminal, but best I can remember, if  a crew
didn't go off duty 90 minutes after passing the  yard board,
they went on overtime.
 
Sometime after Hank Kinzell retired, there were some
track changes on Roanoke Terminal.  Prior to  that
time, it was very rare to see a westbound crew held
out at Berkley Road.  Frequently one can now see  a
train being held out on both main tracks.  One
observer even noted from Berkley Road east toward
Blue Ridge, there were five being held out.   Sometime
the trains will be standing at Berkley Road without  a
crew.  Maybe Cinnamon Coach has taken them to  the
yard office to mark off. If a crew is being held  out, but they
haven't passed the yard board can they still  qualify for final
terminal overtime ?  And what was it that B. J.  Hoops
changed that led to this congestion ?
