To my understanding footboard yardmaster is a pay rate on some yard jobs on the pryor Santa Fe. In the yards that I work in, I believe that most of these jobs are bid-bump, I don't recall if any are on the daily mark (this is a BN thing). The foreman of the switch crew gets the FBYM rate of pay. If you are the forman, remember to claim this code when you tie-up (I cannot recall the code, I usually caught these jobs off of the E board. Also, I worked in a consolidated SF-BN yard, so things may be different where you are). If I rember, the pay is a few bucks more than foreman rate and the helper is not elligible for this pay. I don't think that there are any FBYM rates on the prior BN, but, I may be wrong. Where I was at, certain jobs were designated with this rate attatched, so if your seniority would allow you to hold that job, and you are qualified on that job, presto! You are a FBYM. In reality you are not a Yard Master, just a forman on a job that qualifies for the FBYM rate of pay. Pretty simple. If anybody has corrections to what I said or anything to add, I would appreciate it. As far as I know it is a Santa Fe thing. I cannot speak for other roads. <br />Ken
