Mention was made on another thread about crews hitting their twelve hours while still out on the road. Of course, this means tying the train down "where is, as is".[xx(] I had read some old-time accounts about crews being told to "take their rest" on the train in a siding (specifically, Wiley Bryan's article about the old Seabord Air Line in Virginia during WW2 in Februry 1974 "TRAINS). I assume this is no longer permitted? In any event, what happens if a crew ties up at a remote siding without easy access to van transportation - and how do they bring out a new crew? Perhap via a following train, or hi-rail equipment? I also presume the crew gets paid an hourly rate ( and perhaps overtime) for all of this?
