ARTICLE VIII – ROAD, YARD AND INCIDENTAL WORK
Section 1 – Road Crews
Road crew may perform the following work in connection with their own trains without additional compensation:
(a) Get or leave their train at any location within the initial and final terminals and handle their own switches. When a crew is required to report for duty or is relieved from duty at a point other than the on and off duty point fixed for that assignment and such point is not within reasonable walking distance of the on and off duty point, transportation will be provided.
(b) Make up to two straight pick – ups at other location(s) in the initial terminal in addition to picking up the train and up to two straight set – outs at other location(s) in the final terminal in addition to yarding the train; and, in connection therewith, spot, pull, couple, or uncouple cars set out or picked up by them and reset any cars disturbed.
(c) In connection with straight pick – ups and/or set – outs within switching limits at intermediate points where yard crews are on duty, spot, pull, couple or uncouple cars set out or picked up by them and reset any cars disturbed in connection therewith.
(d) Perform switching within switching limits at times no yard crew is on duty. On carriers on which the provisions of Section 1 of Article V of the June 25, 1964 Agreement are applicable, time consumed in switching under this provision shall continue to be counted as switching time. Switching allowances, where applicable, under Article V, Section 7 of the June 25, 1964 Agreement or under individual railroad agreements, payable to road crews, shall continue with respect to employees whose seniority in engine or train service precedes the date of this Agreement and such allowances are not subject to general or other wage increases.
(e) At locations outside of switching limits there shall be no restrictions on holding onto cars in making set – outs or pick – ups, including coupling or shoving cars disturbed in making set—outs or pick – ups.

ARTICLE VIII — ROAD/YARD WORK
Section 1
(a) Pursuant to the new road/yard provisions contained in the recommendations of Presidential Emergency Board No. 219, as clarified, a road crew may perform in connection with its own train without additional compensation one move in addition to those permitted by previous agreements at each of the (a) initial terminal, (b) intermediate points, and (c) final terminal. Each of the moves — those previously allowed plus the new ones — may be any one of those prescribed by the Presidential Emergency Board: pick—ups, set—outs, getting or leaving the train on multiple tracks, interchanging with foreign railroads, transferring cars within a switching limit, and spotting and pulling cars at industries.
(b) The switching allowances referred to in Article VIII, Section 1(d) of the May 19, 1986 Award of Arbitration Board No. 458 shall continue with respect to employees whose seniority in engine or train service precedes May 19, 1985 and such allowances are not subject to general or other wage increases.
(c) The crew of an over—the—road solid run—through train may perform one move as prescribed, in addition to delivering and/or receiving their train in interchange.
Note: PEB 219 increased the allowable pick ups/set outs by one, thus three are allowed.
