                                    MEMORANDUM AGREEMENT

                                                     RLA-6-393

            MANNING WORK TRAINS - POCATELLO    NAMPA

IT IS AGREED:

Section 1. Unassigned work train service between Pocatello and Nampa where such operation extends into the opposite protecting extra board radius, such service shall be manned as follows:

1.            Unassigned work train service shall be manned from the protecting extra board point where the service originates and during the time the service is confined exclusively to the territory of the protecting extra board.

2.            When the work train service overlaps into the opposing protecting extra board radius between Pocatello and Nampa, such service shall continue to be manned by the crew from the extra board point where the service originated until and unless the work train service continues in the overlapping territory for more than one tie-up.

EXAMPLE 1:Unassigned work train service originating at Pocatello                  operates Pocatello, to Shoshone and ties up.  Operates                    Shoshone to Glenna Ferry and ties up, operates Glenna                      Ferry to Mountain Rome and ties up, operates Mountain                   Rome to Nampa and ties up. The Pocatello extra board             engineer would remain on the work train through to Nampa.

EXAMPLE 2:            If the unassigned work train service under Example 1 ties up                           at Mountain Home more than one tie-up, the Pocatello                    engineer would be released following the day's work after                  the first tie-up and a Nampa engineer would man the work                  train working out of Mountain Home on the second day.

Example 3:            If the same-work train in Example 1 continues eastbouud out                   of Nampa following the first tie-up, the Pocatello engineer                     may be used return-to Pocatello.

NOTE:            Examples 1, 2 and 3 would apply in

                        the same manner for a work train originating at Nampa                      working through to Pocatello.

Section 2. This Agreement shall be effective January 1, 1979, and thereafter, subject to the condition that it shall automatically terminate and be of no further force nor effect twenty (20) days after written notice is served by either party upon the other of their desire to so terminate.

Dated at Salt Lake City, Utah, this 4th day of

January, 1979.
