Lapback Sample Clauses

Lapback. 1. When either a pool crew or a crew in regularly assigned service is required to make an emergency side or lap back trip between their terminals and within their assigned territory, miles made will be added to the mileage of the regular trip and paid for on a continuous time basis. Side trips under the meaning of this provision include locomotive failures, doubling hills, trips occasioned by derailment or main line obstruction, etc. 2. Even when no emergency is involved, a pool crew may be notified at any time prior to the time that they leave their initial terminal (i.e., switching limits if it is a yard crew point) to make a side trip, and this will not be considered as being run off their assigned territory. When a pool crew is so notified they will be entitled to the mileage of the side trip regardless of whether or not they actually make the side trip involved. 3. When a crew is required to make a non-emergency side trip or lap back (e.g., to pick up or set off cars or when required to take excess cars to or from a siding where their train will not fit, etc.), or run outside the limits of their assignment, they will be allowed actual miles or hours of the side or lap back trip with a minimum of a basic day’s pay, separate and apart from the time or miles of their regular trip.
