heres what i know! all class 1 railroads have extra boards, some short lines have them also. extra board workers fill in for sick workers, extra work that comes up and vacations. they start at the top and work there way down. heres what i need to know, do you as an extra board worker allways have the same starting point ? meaning you start at the office and then they have to get you to the train and back from the train ? and when you get to the office does the clock start on your 12 hours of service. next how many days in a row can they work you ? and after so many days do you get a day off , or can they work you every day give you your rest call you back again and so on for the whole year of 365 days in a row. and if they have to give you a day off, what is a day off ? 12 hours, 24 hours, or like 36 hours? and if you do have to work 9, 12, 15, 21 days in a row does your pay go up to time and a half after so many days ? thanks for your help.
