"J", <br />Got a good one for you. On NS, there's a pay code called "VT" This code covers T&E employees who hired under the former Virginian Railway agreement. This agreement stayed active until about 1977, although the Virginian was merged into the N&W in December 1959. The code calls for any crew called from a former Virginian terminal and destined to a Virginian terminal, who is relieved on the line of road because of hours of service, will remain at the overtime rate until the relieving crew reaches the destination yard board. In the coal fields, there are planned hogs so that it can take the relieving crew nearly the additional 12 hours to get back. The first crew is home sleeping, watching tv or whatever at OT rate and the rest doesn't begin until the ot is terminated. As of two years ago, there were still 17 people under that code. By the way, great explanation of the extra board and marking on and off. gdc
