[%-)] <br />[/quote]the time that you sit and wait for a taxi and taxi ride back to your termianl is considered limbo time...you are still on duty since you havnt marked off of duty yet...but you are no longer alowed to proform any type of service... when your 12 hours is up...its up... going back and even tieing a handbreak on a locomotive after 12 hours is considered proforming service and is a willfull violation of the hours of service laws...stoping and tieing your train down should all be done befor your 12 hours is up... <br />csx engineer <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Thank you for the information CSXengineer [8D]. I apologize for the misunderstanding of the other post regarding FRA fines..... my main point was that usually the crew is ** usually ** only fined in cases of very willful violations (including the ones you described), which I should have been more clear on.
