YARD SERVICE OUT OF SWITCHING LIMITS

When assigned to yard service, your duties will be performed within the established switching limits or you are probably doing road work. If you are told to stage a train outside of switching limits, enter the following time claim. If you believe you have a claim for other yard switching limit violations, modify your claim based on the example or ask a local chairman for assistance. “Claiming 8 hours account being instructed to work outside of switching limits while assigned to yard job (train ID) on duty (date) at (time) at (location). I was instructed by (manager) to take train (train ID) from (yard location) to (location) which was outside of the scope of my yard service assignment. I departed switching limits at (time) and arrived back in switching limits at (time).”
