Claim: On Tie-up.
Mileage: 100 Mi.
Companion Claim: For first out rested Conductor and Engineer.
Restriction: This claim is for bulletined jobs only and is not applicable for crews used in STAS.
If an employee is required to operate beyond the limits of their assignment they are entitled to a penalty payment of one basic day.
You will be asked for the following information when tying up;
- Start and Stop time. (Time when you left and then re-entered your bulletined territory.)
- Start Milepost. (Location you left your bulletined territory.)
- Turn around location. (The point you stopped and either left the train and got in a van or started back the other way to go re-enter your bulletined territory.)
- Who Authorized the Move. (Trainmaster, Dispatcher, Etc.)
- Ex.1 You are working the North K-Train and are asked to take a train from Everett to Ferndale. Because the job is bulletined to only operate between Everett and Mp 80.9 (N. Bow), you would be due a basic day.
Note: While this claim pays a basic day it also goes against your over time if you made the move while on overtime.
- Ex. You are working a 100 mile Road Switcher that goes on overtime after 8 hours and is duty at 0800. At 1700, you are asked to move a train beyond the limits of your assignment, this move takes you from 1700-1800. You work all 12 hours and at tie up claim an RO. You would be due a basic day for the RO, and 3 hours of overtime, as the move took 1 hour.
