of agreement entitled Kamloops Local Rules. This local agreement will apply to all 
running trade employees at Kamloops effective the day of signing.

LOCAL RULE #1 - Union Business
The Engineer's Local Chairman's (LC) turn may be placed first out upon arrival.  
Engineer's LC rest is allowed but not required.    
The Conductor's LC at his option, at any time, may have his turn placed first out 
on the appropriate pool or spareboard.  Conductor's LC rest is allowed but not required.
LC and/or 1st vice LC may book "Company Business" at any time and their guarantees 
will not be reduced or pro-rated for doing so.   
Designated local union officers may book "Union Business".  Their turn will be put 
on hold and will move in its normal rotation to the top of the pool or spareboard.  
The turn will remain first out until the union officer books okay for duty. 
The turn on Union Business will not be treated as a vacancy.  Conductor's rest is 
allowed.  Engineers rest is required with a minimum of 8 hours.  
Turns lost while off on union business at Kamloops can be regained upon arrival 
after the first trip. Board placement will only be allowed up to the first out position.  

The employee must notify the Crew Management Centre (CMC) of the correct turn placement.
  Failure to notify or incorrect information given to the CMC will not result in 
	any additional expense to the Company.

LOCAL RULE #2 - Company Medical

Running Trade Employees (RTE) will inform CMC to put their turn on hold to attend 
company medical examinations up to 24 hours prior to the appointment.  Their turn 
will move in its normal rotation to the top of the pool or spareboard and then will 
remain first out and will not be treated as a vacancy.  Employee must book on upon 
completion of medical before 1800. Rest is not allowed.  Spareboard guarantee will 
not be reduced or pro-rated as a result of this local rule.  

LOCAL RULE #3 - Short Turns

RTE's, who work a short turn in other than straightaway service regardless of former 
position on the board will become or remain first out in their newly established 
turn subject to the following provisions:

a)	Short turns are tours of duty in turnaround or TCS service for which the total   
chargeable miles are 199 or less.  CT and EC claims are not chargeable. Employees 
canceled after commencing work are considered to have worked a short turn.  
b)	Maximum number of short turns is two.  After two consecutive short turns the 
employee will be placed at the bottom of the pool or spareboard.
c)	Employees on short turns are placed first out ahead of employees on rest at 
call time for the employee making the short turn for pools and spareboards.  If 
more than one employee is on a short turn the call time will apply for first out 
placement.
d)	Vacant turns making short turns must be placed to the bottom of the pool.
e)	RTE's canceled after being called will become or remain first out.  This will 
not be considered as making a short turn in application of two consecutive short 
turns.
f)	An ESB working a turn as a Locomotive Engineer will be placed at the bottom 
of the spareboard unless the short turn clause applies.  If it does apply, then 
the employee will be placed back in their original position if turn is in.  There 
will be no scooping of turns ahead on rest.  If original turn went out before that 
person's return then compensation will be as per Collective Agreement (CA) and turn 
will be placed at the bottom of the board.
g)	ESB's making a short turn will be placed back in turn in the Conductor's pool 
if turn is in.  If turn is out they go "waiting turn".  

NOTE:  The RTE must notify the CMC that he/she is booking a short turn.  Failure 
to notify or incorrect information given to the CMC will not result in any additional 
expense to the Company.  All repositioning must be done within 2 hours of going 
off duty

LOCAL RULE #4 - Booking on after <  LOA  / sick leave / unfit & missed call  >

Unassigned Locomotive Engineers, Conductor/Trainperson granted LOA, booking Unfit, 
booking Sick or missing a call will be held off for at least 8 hours before being 
allowed to book okay for duty.  

Missed call penalty (held off for 8 hours) will only apply to the first out RTE 
in the pool or on the Spareboard who missed the call. A RTE who is being held off 
for missing a call could be used before the 8 hour penalty time expires in cases 
of shortage of manpower.

LOCAL RULE #5 - No Scoop
RTE's working or deadheading scooped by other RTE's will regain their turn at the 
objective terminal.

At North Bend a two hour call applies from off duty time.  If RTE's are not available 
for a two hour call they will regain their turn at Kamloops. 

RTE's scooped while on personal rest at North Bend will be placed in the pool at 
Kamloops in the same sequence as they were called out of North Bend.  

RTE's arriving at North Bend on MTOD will be treated as if they have not booked 
est unless they also book personal rest.  Crews turned on line will be treated as 
if in turn service.

RTE's called in straight away service out of North Bend whose call time is earlier 
than a TCS RTE's "work began" time at North Bend will regain their turn at Kamloops 
if scooped by the TCS crew while enroute.  Short turn rules apply.

The affected employee must notify the CMC of the correct turn placement.   Failure 
to notify or incorrect information given to the CMC will not result in any additional 
expense to the Company.  All repositioning must be done within 12 hours of going 
off duty.

LOCAL RULE #6 - Rest
RTE's will be permitted to book up to a maximum of 32 hours of undisturbed rest 
at the home terminal of Kamloops with no minimum rest required at Kamloops or 
North Bend.

RTE's canceled prior to commencing work may book up to 8 hours rest with no 
minimum required. 

All assignments that are scheduled to work less than six days per week will be 
governed by the provisions of the TCRC collective agreement, article 29.16 - 
Conductors and article 27.15- Engineers.

scheduled vacation period at 2201 subject to be called for 0001.
