SUBJECT: GENERAL INFORMATION 
SUBDIVISION:  ALL 



LOCOMOTIVE FUEL READINGS 

A train crew at originating terminals, crew change points or when 
picking up engines on line will check locomotive fuel on head end 
locomotives.  Any engine with less than 1500 gallons must be 
reported to the dispatcher. 

DEADHEADING ON TRAINS 

Effective May 22, 2000, BNSF, will permit deadheading on certain 
trailing units on a system-wide basis.  This notice replaces 
previous instructions regarding deadheading by train.  Crews may 
deadhead on the first through fourth trailing units, where those 
units are equipped with enter-through-the-nose cabs.  The locomotive 
models with such cabs include the GE-8, GE-9, SD-60M, GP-60M, 
SD-70MAC and SD-75M. 

Other units without enter-through-the nose cabs (i.e. SD-40, etc.) 
may be placed at any position in the locomotive consist, but may 
not be used for deadheading, except in situattions where road or 



weather conditions restrict transportation by crew van.  Orientation 
of the trailing units may be either short-nose- or long-nose- forward. 
Crews may open or close windows and vents as necessary to maintain 
comfort. 

The following locomotives are suitable for deadheading. Any newly 
acquired locomotives or other locomotives not included in this 
roster series are also suitable, prvided they meet the locomotive 
model criteria listed above. 

Road Number     Series Locomotive Model 
100 - 162       GP 60M 
500 - 582       B40W 
600 - 799       Dash 9-44CW 
800 - 951       Dash 8-44CW 
960 - 1123      Dash 9-44CW 
1991            SD 60M 
4300 - 4999     Dash 9-44CW

9400 - 9499     SD 70MAC 
9504 - 9999     SD 70MAC 

TRAIN INSPECTIONS AT CREW CHANGE POINTS 

During step off and step on crew changes one member of the inbound 
crew  must  give the outbound train a roll by inspection and when 
conditions permit,  confirm visually that the rear of train device 
light is flashing. 

TRAIN LENGTH CHANGES - CALL SHEET INFORMATION 

Effective immediately, all outbound crews are required to compare the 

Call Sheet information with the actual paperwork for the train, and 
report any discrepancies to the train dispatcher immediately, ensuring 
that the dispatchers have accurate information at all times.  If the 
length of the train changes due to work en route, the new train length 
information must be given to the train dispatcher as soon as possible 
after the train length changes. 

RIDING ON SIDE OF CAR 

Employees riding on the side of cars must stop the movement prior 
to traveling a distance of one (1) mile and rest prior to continuing 
the move.  This rest period will last no more than four (4) minutes 
and the stop must be made, whenever possible, to clear public road 
crossing. 

RADIO BATTERIES 

Due to recent radio failures, and the shortage of limos, and personnel. 
Employees will need to make sure that their radio battery is fully 
charged before their on duty time.  It is no longer feasible for 
personnel to deliver batteries to the job site. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR RADIO CALL IN PROCEDURES 

When utilizing the "Radio call in" feature from the Engineer's radio 
within the locmotive to contact the train dispatcher, mechanical desk, 
signal desk or recall TWD, press the DTMF key, then enter the 
appropriate number code pressing the proper numbers in sequence on the 
radio's key pad.  NOTE:  Do not press the "Tone" button (if equipped) 
at any time during this process. 

Explanation:  In the past, BNSF radio equipment recognized single 
frequency tones.  At present, BNSF radio equipment with "call in" 
capabilities is programmed to recognize dual frequency tones.  Motorola 
Spectra radios transmit DTMF (dual frequency) digits when the operator 
presses only the digits on the radio key pad whether the "DTMF" key is 
pressed first, or not.  On other radios, such as the "Colt" control 
head, the "Touch Tones" button must be pressed prior to pressing the 
numeric buttons in order to transmit the needed DTMF tones.  On 
"Motorola" control heads, do not press the "Tone" button prior to 
pressing the numeric buttons.  Doing this transmits single frequency 
tones which the receiving equipment does not recognize. 

INITIAL TERMINAL TIME REPORTING 

In order to assist in reducing Reliefs on Line: 
Prior to departure from Initial Terminal, crews with 2 hours or more 
on duty must contact the Dispatcher, or be advised by Terminal 
Personnell that the Chief Dispatcher has been contacted to determine 
if crew will be allowed to depart on trip. 

COMPENSATION FOR EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT GROUP PARTICIPATION 

Employees who participate in task forces, focus groups, safety groups 
and other employee involvement groups of this type (Detached Service) 
will be compensated for a basic day at the rate of last service 
performed for each day the employee participates in the involvement 
group. Employees participating in such groups on their regularly 
assigned rest days will be paid for actual time involved in such 
participation at the basic rate of their regular assignment, unless at 
BNSF's election they are allowed alternate rest days from their assign- 
ment in lieu thereof during the week of their participation.  Employees 
will also be reimbursed for reasonable, actual travel and business- 
related expenses. 

In order for TY&E employees to be properly compensated for detached 
involvement, when submitting special claim for compensation, claim a 
basic day at the rate of last service performed for each day you 
participate in the involvement group.  Additionally, you must outline 
in detail your detached involvement identifying group name and the 
supervisor authorizing your participation. 

NEAR MISS PROGRAM 

Effective May 1, 1998 BNSF launched a Near Collision Program designed 
to capture information on near collisions between trains and vehicles, 
trespassers or pedestrians. When an incident occurs, employees must 
make a report by one of the following methods: 
*  Pre-addressed/Postage Paid Post Card (Form SAF51680) 
   - Fill in as much information as possible 
   - Fill in Name and Address if response is desired 
   - Place in mail

SUBDIVISION: ALL 

LOCOMOTIVE AIR CONDITIONING 

When locomotive consists are made up for use during hot weather*, 
or in locaitons where trains will operate through hot weather* areas 
prior to the destination point of the locomotive consist, reasonable 
effort should be made to place a locomotive equipped with an air

TEXAS DIVISION 

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 13 

TO ALL CONCERNED, 

SUBJECT: Positive Protection for Resource Protection Team Members 
SUBDIVISION: All 

Objective:  This policy statement will provide guidance in the 
safest, most efficient and effective method for Resource Protection 
Team members to perform their duties on or around trains, rail cars, 
locomotives, and other rail equipment while on main tracks and other 
than main tracks. 

Scope:  This policy applies to all Resource Protection Team members 
and contract security officers under contract to or employed by the 
Resource Protection Team. 

Definitions: 

Positive Protection - A formal set of procedures intended to 
provide protection to Resource Protection Team members from 
the unexpected movement of trains, locomotives, rail cars or rail 
equipment while performing work on, between or around trains, 
locomotives, rail cars or rail equipment on main track or other 
than main track. 

Going Between - Any team member breaking the invisible plane 
between a rail car or locomotive coupled to a locomotive or other 
rail equipment to work at the end of the rail car, locomotive or 
equipment. Going between includes reaching in to apply a hand 
brake, climbing over; inspecting the angle cock, hand brake or 
undercarriage; removing persons from under, inside or on rail 
cars, locomotives or rail equipment; opening or closing doors; 
removing or replacing seals, cables, bolts or locks. When any 
of the above occurs the invisible plane has been broken and this 
policy applies. 

Employee In Charge Of Crews - Those individuals who are 
authorized by virtue of their expertise, and position of leadership 
to approve, certify, or sanction the movement of trains, locomotives 
and rail equipment. This includes but is not limited to yardmasters, 
assistant trainmasters, trainmasters, conductors, job foreman, and 
train dispatchers. Although engineers are not considered as 
"in charge" they should be contacted to insure that equipment 
will not be moved, when appropriate. 

Policy: 

Resource Protection Team members and contract security officers 
must, from time to time, climb on, go between, work on or around 
trains, rail cars, locomotives or other rail equipment on the main 
track or other than the main track. Due to the nature of risks involved 
when performing work around tracks it is important that rules and 
policies associated with these tasks are strictly adhered to. The risks 
associated with getting on and off trains, going between, or crossing 
over equipment can be greatly reduced by the strict compliance with 
rules and policies designed to protect team members. However RPT 
members must be aware that having all of the proper safeguards in 
place does not guarantee that the equipment will not be unexpectedly 
moved. RPT members must be alert and attentive when performing 
duties on main tracks or other than main tracks. 

Good common sense and a healthy respect for large, heavy, moving 
equipment are extremely important. However, safety rules and this 
policy will provide uniform safeguards intended to maximize protection 
for team members while performing work on the main track or other 
than the main track. 

Application: 

All Resource Protection Team members who must perform work on 
or around tracks, rail cars, locomotives or rail equipment attached to 
locomotives must be familiar with and strictly adhere to the following 
rules when on the main track or other than the main track: 

1. Any RPT member when required to go between or work on 
   equipment attached to a locomotive must notify by company radio 
   the engineer and all other crew members who could effect movement 
   of the equipment and receive an acknowledgement that an RPT 
   is going between or working on the equipment. 
2. Radio communication is the prescribed method to be used to 
   notify and verify that a RPT member is going between or working 
   on the equipment. Hand and whistle signals should not be used when 
   radio communication is available. 
3. Any RPT member going between or working on the equipment 
   must wait until all movement of the equipment has stopped, the slack 
   action has adjusted, and the engineer and others who could effect the 
   movement of the equipment have acknowledged that they understand 
   that an RPT member is going between or working on the equipment. 
4. Any RPT member going between or working on the equipment, which may be 
   coupled into or moved, must first communicate with the Employee in 
   Charge of Crews(yard master, trainmaster, assistant trainmaster, 
   others) to insure the equipment will not be coupled into or moved, and 
   recieve an acknowledgement from that person that they know of no 
   anticipated movement of the equipment. The RPT member must notify the 
same person when they are clear of the equipment. 
5. When stepping out from between rail cars or locomotives, RPT members 
   must watch for equipment moving on adjacent tracks or vehicles and 
   machinery moving on the toepath, walkway or roadway. 
6. All RPT members must be aware that having all of the proper safeguards 
   in place does not guarantee that the equipment will not be moved 
   unexpectedly on main tracks, other than main tracks and in rail yards. 
7. RPT members must not go between uncoupled rail cars or locomotives 
   when clearance between them is less than 50 feet, unless positive 
   protection is provided. 
8. All violations of this policy or near misses must be reported to the 
   appropriate person(s) immediately.

SUBJECT: CONTRACT TRANSPORTATION PROVIDERS 
SUBDIVISION:  ALL 

As a result of an incident on the Union Pacific Railroad in which a 
driver and 2 UP employees were killed when the transport vehicle in which 
they were riding was struck by a train, the following requirement is 
in effect for any company contracted to haul BNSF crews: 

"Each driver of any company contracted to haul BNSF crews upon 
approaching a highway/rail grade crossing: 

1)  within yard facilities shall slow down to a rate of speed that will 
permit the driver to stop within 50 feet, but not less than 15 feet from 
the nearest rail of any crossing, and shall not proceed until the driver 
first looks in each direction and, in addition, listens to ascertain 
whether a train or other on-track equipment is approaching the crossing 
and determines that he or she can safely proceed.  This requirement does 
not take precedence over traffic control devices, for example, stop 
signs, that require a vehicle to be stopped before proceeding over a 
crossing. 

2)  outside yard facilities and not equipped with automatic warning 
devices (warning lights, gates, bells, or any combination thereof) shall 
stop within 50 feet, but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail of 
any crossing, and shall not proceed until the driver first looks in each 
direction and, in addition, listens to ascertain whether a train or 
other on-track equipment is approaching the crossing and determines that 
he or she can safely proceed. 
After the driver has taken those steps which are necessary to determine 
that the way is clear and it is safe to do so, he or she may drive the 
vehicle across the tracks. 

If any violations are observed, please report them to your supervisor.

SUBJECT: UPRR-BNSF CREWS AT THE UPRR 
SUBDIVISION:  FT. WORTH & WICHITA FALLS SUBS. 

BNSF YARD CREWS INTERCHANGING / PULLING CARS FROM THE UPRR WILL BE 
GOVERNED BY THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. 

ALL TRAINS MUST REPORT INTERCHANGE TIME (DELIVERING & RECIEVING) 
AT CENTENNIAL YARD TO CQS AT 317-7640 OR RADIO TONE 5. 

TRAIN MAKING PICKUP AT TOWER 55 OF UPS TRAFFIC OFF THE MESQUITE 
CONNECTION WILL CALL THE TRAINMASTER AT ALLIANCE AND INFORM HIM 
OF ANY DELAYS OCCURING BETWEEN ALLIANCE AND DEPARTURE OF 

CENTINNIAL YARD.CALLS WILL BE MADE BY RADIO OR CELL PHONE 
THAT HAVE BEEN ISSUED TO KEEP TRAINMASTER INFORMED OF ANY DELAYS 
TO THIS TRAFFIC. 

UP has installed a FAX machine in the Dispatcher's cube who handles the 
Baird Sub.   Have directed the Crew Boards for trains running over the 
Baird to this FAX (in addition to any other place they may be directed). 

Also the UP Corridor Manager said that using this FAX for communication 
to the UP Dispatcher may receive more direct attention than phone calls 
that end up in cue for a long time.  Might try it as an alternate 
form of communication. 

UP FAX # 402-943-4024 

   When instructed by the UPRR to perform duties that are a violation 
of your agreement, advise the UPRR that the move(s) they have instructed 
you to do violates your agreement. 

   After advising the UPRR of the violation and you are still instructed 
to perform these duties, you MUST COMPLY with the instructions given 
by the UPRR. 

   Contact the trainmaster at Alliance on another radio channel and 
advise him / her of the UPRR instructions. 

   When you (BNSF Crews) are held in or out of the yard (UPRR), 
advise the trainmaster at alliance that UPRR is holding you 
out or in.

(@#34 CA Codes
January 19, 2002 
BNSF Railway Co. 
TEXAS DIVISION 

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 34 


TO ALL CONCERNED, 

SUBJECT: CA CODES 
SUBDIVISION:  ALL 



Be governed by the following as it relates to ITD, YA, Meal Period, 
Conductor Only, Cab Standard, Car Mileage (MA) and other claims for 
additional compensation. 



LOCOMOTIVE CAB CONDITION-CLAIMS SUBMISSION 

Claims for arbitrary payments based upon Locomotive Cab Condition 
Defects will not be paid without supporting documentation. 

       The defect is reported to the NOC Mechanical Desk. 

       Documentation must include time, date, engine number 
       and show defects on locomotive inspection sheet. 
       The time in which the defect was reported must also 
       be shown. 

       Dispatchers name or initials that the defect was 
       reported to must be included in documentation. 




CONSTRUCTIVE CODE MA 

It has been brought to our attention the wrong constructive code is 
being claimed for employees car mileage in the Fort Worth Complex 

For those employees who qualify for this mileage under the Fort Worth 
Consolidated Yard Agreement, proper Constructive Code is MA. 

Constructive code MR is to be used to reimburse an employee for mileage 
to use their own personal vehicle in lieu of the company providing 
transportation when going to an outlying assignment. 

If you have any questions concerning the proper use of these codes, 
please contact your respective timekeepers in Topeka. 



YARD RUNAROUND (YA) 

The following information is needed to process a claim for 
a yard runaround: 

     *  Time train initiates movement from the track where 
        train is originally made up. 
     *  Time the crew that ran around you departed their 
        make-up track, or departed the terminal in a van. 
     *  If departing from the main track, you need to make 
        that indication, and supply the time and location. 
     *  If departing by van, you need to make that indication, 
        and supply the time and reason, (i.e., deadhead, 
        dogcatch, etc.) 
     *  Miles claimed. 

ALL TRAIN AND DEADHEAD CREWS MUST RECEIVE PERMISSION TO DEPART 
THE TERMINAL AND MUST NOT DEPART OUT OF TURN. 

AT ALLIANCE, ALL DEADHEAD CREWS DEPARTING TO GAINESVILLE OR 
CHILDRESS MUST CONTACT THE TERMINAL MANAGER PRIOR TO DEPARTURE 
TO DETERMINE IF YARD RUNAROUND WILL BE INCURRED. 

YARD RUN AROUNDS WILL NOT BE PAID UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY CHIEF 
DISPATCHER FT. WORTH #8-234-2332 OR TERMINAL MANAGER AT #8-224-7057. 

ALLIANCE SHORT POOL CREWS THAT OPERATE BETWEEN ALLIANCE AND GAINESVILLE 
MUST NOT SWAP TRAINS AT GAINESVILLE, BUT TAKE THE TRAIN ORIGINALLY 
CALLED FOR.  THERE SHOULD BE NO DISCUSSION BETWEEN CREW MANAGEMENT 
OR THE DISPATCHER AS TO WHICH TRAIN TO DEPART GAINESVILLE ON. 
IF UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE WHICH MIGHT DICTATE A DIFFERENT COURSE 
OF ACTION, CONTACT THE TERMINAL MANAGER AT ALLIANCE. 




INITIAL TERMINAL DELAY (ITD) 

The following information is needed to process a claim for ITD. 

     *  Time the train initiates movement from the departure track. 
     *  Miles claimed. 

ITD ceases when the train begins its road trip from the yard track 
where first made up regardless of subsequent delay.  Crews do not 
continue on ITD even if they are required to pick-up at another 
location, perform an air test at another location, delayed due to 
congestion, etc., even in a consolidated terminal.  For example: 

     Crew is called on duty at Alliace Yard at 0800 hours, 
     transported to North Yard to get the train, performs 
     required air tests and departs from the track where 
     the train was "made-up" at 0900 hours, then proceeds 
     to the Alliance Yard and picks up 3 cars from 1000 
     to 1030 hours, performs required air test and departs 
     at 1050 hours.  Crew then continues to their distant 
     terminal.  The departure time shown on the time ticket 
     should indicate 0900 hours. 

The same departure time will be used in determining yard 
runarounds. 

The time that crews depart for foreign yards will determine 
the departure time for ITD, in other words, ITD ceases when 
the crew departs in the van enroute to the foreign yard. 

FINAL TERMINAL DELAY (FTD) 

The following infomration is needed to process a claim for 
FTD. 

     *  The time the crew arrives at the switch or signal 
        governing movement into the final terminal yard where 
        the train is to be left or yarded. 
     *  The mile post (MP) location of the switch or signal 
        where FTD began. 
     *  Miles claimed. 

     The MP listed will apply when yarding trains at the 
     following locations in the Fort Worth Consolidated 
     Yard. 

     Alliance Yard - MP 362.2 - Trains arriving from Temple, 
          Wichita Falls, and Teague. 
     Alliance Yard - MP 365 - Trains arriving from Gainesville. 
     North Yard - MP 5.5 - Trains arriving from Teague and Temple. 
     North Yard - MP 7 - Trains arriving from Wichita Falls 
          and Gainesville. 
     Saginaw - MP 351.4 - Trains arriving from Temple and Teague. 
     Saginaw - MP 353 - Trains arriving from Gainesville and 
          Wichita Falls. 

The time and milepost location should be included to 
substantiate a FTD claim. 

MEAL PERIOD 

The following information is required to process a penalty 
meal period claim: 

     *  The time the meal period was requested. 
     *  The name or initials of the supervisor to whom the 
        request was made. 
     *  The miles claimed for the penalty. 
     *  For late - yard meal period claims, the time the late 
        meal was observed. 
     *  For no - yard meal period claims, 00 should be entered 
        in the time observed screen. 


For road jobs, crews should request permission from the dispatcher 
at least one hour and thirty minutes before the desired stop in 
order to avoid delays.  When deadheading, crews will also need to 
obtain permission from the dispatcher before stopping.  The 
dispatcher will indicate the amount of time the crew is allowed 
to eat. 

The foreman of each yard job will be responsible to see that his 
crew takes their meal period at the designated time without violating 
their meal period.  The foreman will notify the ATM and/or Yardmaster 
when they will be taking their meal period.  Penalty meal period 
claims will require Yardmaster or ATM approval. 

CONDUCTOR ONLY PAYMENTS (IM) 

When a conductor-only crew is to perform work or a move that will 
generate a penalty payment under the Crew Consist Agreement, the 
conductor must record the service performed and the name of the 
person authorizing the triggering event. 


The following information is required to process a claim for a 
penalty payment under the Crew Consist Agreement: 

     *  Name, not initials, of the authorizing party.  If the 
        conductor cannot get this information, the work/move 
        must not be performed. 
     *  A description of the events performed leading up to the 
        triggering event (including car numbers and location). 
     *  A description of the event that triggered the penalty, 
        (including car numbers and location). 
     *  Miles claimed. 

A copy of your  ""legible""  electronic timeslip must be faxed to 
the Division General Manager's Office at 8-224-7010 promptly after 
the completion of the trip. 

ETD PAY 

The following information is required to process a claim for ETD 
payment: 

     *  ETD number. 
     *  Car & Train number. 
     *  Track number the car/train was on. 
     *  Name and title of person who authorized handling 
        the ETD. 
     *  Miles claimed. 

In order to receive payment for an ETD claim, the ETD must be 
actually handled.  Merely adjusting the ETD, or replacing the 
battery, does not qualify payment. 

CAB STANDARD 

The following information should be provided to substantiate a 
claim based on cab standards: 

     *  Locomotive desgination, both alpha and numberic 
        (e.g. ATSF502). 
     *  A brief description of the defect (e.g. no conductor's 
        desk or clipboard). 
     *  Date and time the defect was reported prior to departure. 
     *  The name of the supervisor that was contacted. 
     *  Action taken by the supervisor contacted (e.g. Trainmaster 
        Jones said to wait until the unit is inspected.). 
     *  Miles claimed. 

Effective immediately, within the Fort Worth Consolidated 
Yard, when claming car mileage, it must be entered through the 
computer when tieing up.  Discontinue claiming car mileage on 
expense account form.  MA is proper CA to claim mileage on 
time ticket. 

When protecting service to an outlying location turn in 
mileage on expense account form. 


OTHER CLAIMS 

Any other claim for additional compensation should included a 
brief description of the work performed, the name of the 
person that authorized the work to be performed, the time 
the authorization was received, the time the event was 
performed and the miles claimed.

   To assist with these changes a 24-hour hotline (1-800-688-0924) 
will be manned for the first week of implementation. Use this hotline 
if you experience any problems with the VRU, or if you have any 
questions regarding this notice. 

Effective Tuesday, May 25, 1999 at 10:00am CST, TY&E 
employees will be able to mark up from layoffs through 
the VRU.  Employees who are eligible to use this function 
will hear the following prompt: 

"Your status indicates you are unavailable; do you 
wish to mark up?  Press 1 for yes or 2 for no."  Those 
who do select to mark up via the VRU will be marked up 
immediately and notification will be sent to the appropriate 
person in the crew support office. 

Some restrictions will apply, so not everyone in all 
cases will hear this prompt.  Some examples of these 
restrictions include: 

-Those who must be off a certain number of hours as 
 specified by agreement.  Once the specified # of hours 
 is reached, will then be able to mark up through the VRU. 

-Those who must obtain permission before marking up. 

-Those working outside jobs where release of extra 
 board personell is required. 

-Those working assigned jobs where markup time is 
 later than call time for the job. 

-Those off working light duty.

(@#36 TY&E Attendance Policy
January 19, 2002 
BNSF Railway Co. 
TEXAS DIVISION 

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 36 

TO ALL CONCERNED, 

SUBJECT: BNSF GUIDELINES FOR TY&E EMPLOYEE ATTENDANCE 

SUBDIVISION: ALL 

BNSF TY&E employees are key members of our community, and have a 
legitimate expectation of reasonable opportunity to be off from work. 
And, along with all other members of our community, BNSF TY&E people 
share certain responsibilities to the community as a whole. 
One of these basic responsibilities is to be "full-time" employees. 
The company commits that each TY&E employee in unassigned 
service fulfills his or her responsibility to maintain "full-time" 
status, in general, by laying off not more than twenty-five percent of 
weekdays and weekends in any three month period. 

Local members of the BNSF transportation management team are specifically 
empowered to apply these Guidelines considering special individual 
circumstances.  Managers should never act in a rigid or "wooden" 
manner, and in every case should use "common sense."  Application of 
these Guidelines also must yield to any conflicting labor agreement 
provision.  We also invite and encourage local union leaders to 
give their input in the application of these Guidelines in individual 
cases, and, generally, to be "part of the process." 

BNSF provides for and encourages each employee who knows in advance of 
a need to be off to request a pre-approved layoff.  An employee may do 
so up to ninety days in advance, and will receive a prompt answer. 
Once a pre-approved layoff is granted, the company may not cancel it 
without the employee's consent. 

More specific principles for applying these Guidelines follow: 

       Each employee's compliance with the Guidelines' 
       standard of "full-time" employment will be measured on a 
       "rolling" three month basis, to accommodate individual 
       employees' needs to "bunch" days off. 
       An employee's continuous fulfillment of the 
       Guidelines' "full-time" standard for any twelve months 
       completely clears his or her record of any previous 
       failure to fulfill the full-time standard. 
       The company's basic measurement of full-time status 
       considers all time an employee is not marked off, and 
       also jury duty, bereavement leave, engineer 
       recertification, and layoff union or company business, to 
       be the same as on-duty time. 
       Periods of vacation, personal leave, other paid leave 
       not already mentioned here, layoff on miles, and foot of 
       the board are removed from the measurement. 
       In every case, local supervisors should consider 
       special circumstances and use common sense in applying 
       the Guidelines. 
       We encourage any employee identified as failing to 
       maintain full-time status under these Guidelines to seek 
       the involvement of his/her local chairman.  Local 
       managers should also encourage such involvement by local 
       chairmen in order to promote fair and common sense 

       application of the Guidelines.

(@#58 Safety Shoes
January 30, 2002 
BNSF Railway Co. 
TEXAS DIVISION 

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 58 

TO ALL CONCERNED, 

SUBJECT: Safety Shoe Policy 
SUBDIVISION: All 

This year, BNSF has refined its safety footwear policy to 
bring it more in line with industry standards and to improve 
efficiencies to the program. Although many parts of the program 
have changed, three things remain the same - replacement boots 
are subsidized by BNSF, employees may choose from several 
vendors and styles to meet their needs, and BNSF is committed 
to providing the highest quality of safety footwear to employees. 
The new policy went into effect Oct. 1, 2001. 

Under the new policy, employees may purchase one pair 
of safety shoes every 12 months and receive 80 percent subsidy 
from the BNSF ($150 for White's).  The 12-month time frame is 
a rolling year specific to each employee.  For example, if an 
employee's last pair of BNSF subsidized safety shoes were 
purchased in April 2001, the employee is not eligible for their 
next BNSF subsidized pair of safety shoes until April 2002. 
If an employee purchases another pair of boots before the 
12-month period is over, BNSF will deduct 100 percent from 
the employee's payroll over two pay periods. 
The exception to this rule is when a pair has been severely 
damaged, in which case a new pair must be approved by a 

vice president and given to Rob Roy, Safety Training and 
Operations Support; or Tamika Wingfield or Doug Keady, 
Strategic Sourcing and Supply. 

Approved suppliers for this year are: 
  Justin Brands 
  Wolverine Footwear 
  White's Boots 
  Carolina Footwear 
  Caterpillar Footwear 

Unlike past years, purchases of Red Wing shoes will not be 
subsidized by BNSF. As in the past, BNSF evaluates vendors 
based on product cost, quality and distribution network, among 
other criteria. Using this system, Red Wing did not rank high 
enough to be selected as a supplier. However, BNSF will 
re-evaluate the policy for 2003 and Red Wing may be added 
in future years. 

To purchase a new pair of safety shoes, employees should 
obtain a BNSF Safety Shoe Authorization form from their 
supervisor. Please complete the top section of the form and 
have your supervisor date and sign the form. Then go to an 
approved vendor, identify yourself as a BNSF employee, 
present a driver's license or another photo identification form 
to the salesperson. The retailer will complete the shoe and cost 
section of the form. BNSF will pay 80 percent of the cost for a 
Justin, Wolverine, Carolina or Caterpillar shoe, and $150 for a 
White's shoe. But please remember, you will not be eligible 
for a replacement pair until 12 months have expired from your 
last subsidized purchase date. Cash payment at the time of 
purchase is not permitted. The remaining cost will be deducted 
from an employee's pay in two equal installments. 

A revised BNSF Safety Shoe Authorization form will be available 
in March 2002 and orders should be placed through BNSF SourceNet 
for Corporate Express item # 487371265. A new poster detailing 
the program and available styles will be coming out soon to field 
locations. 

Also, the new safety footwear policy can be found on BNSF's intranet at: 
http://bnsfweb.bnsf.com/departments/safety/safety_footwear_page.html 

To find a store close to you, please call one of these vendors: 
Justin: 1-88-458-7846 or www.justinboots.com 
Wolverine: 1-800-789-8586 or www.wolverineworldwide.com 
White's Boots: 1-800-541-3786 
Carolina: 1-866-554-0120 
Caterpillar:  1-800-789-8586 

If you have a question about BNSF's new Safety Footwear 
policy, please call the Strategic Sourcing Hotline at 352-0136 
(dial Area Code 817 if calling from a non-BNSF line). The 
hotline offers callers three options: safety shoe policy; approved 
suppliers, style numbers and contact information, and the option 
of leaving a message. All calls will be returned within 48 hours, 
Monday through Friday. 

2002 SAFETY FOOTWARE POLICY - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway recently completed a 
Safety Shoe Initiative and has selected Justin Brands, 
Wolverine/Caterpillar Footwear, Carolina Footwear, and White's Boots 
as the suppliers for the 2002 Calendar Year.  During this initiative, 
a new safety shoe policy was put into effect on October 1, 2001. 
The new policy states: 

  Upon supervisor approval, one pair of approved BNSF safety 
  shoes every 12 months will be subsidized at 80% BNSF contribution, 
  (White's Boots subsidy is $150) for active employees.  The employee 
  will be responsible for the remaining 20%, which will be deducted 
  from the employee's payroll in two pay period deductions of 10% each. 
  Cash payment at time of purchase is not permitted. 
  The 12-month time frame is a rolling year specific to each employee. 
  For example, if an employee's last pair of safety shoes were purchased 
  on April 2001, the employee is eligible (upon supervisor approval and 
  validation of need) for their next BNSF subsidized pair of safety shoes 
  on April 2002. 

Below are answers to the most frequently asked questions 

regarding the new safety shoe policy. 

Q. How often may I purchase safety shoes and receive the 
   BNSF 80% subsidy? 

  The employee can choose to purchase additional pairs utilizing 
  the BNSF voucher system by submitting a supervisor signed 
  voucher, selecting an approved BNSF style and allowing the voucher 
  system to deduct 100% of the cost from the employees payroll over 
  two (2) pay periods; or they may opt to purchase and pay at the 
  point-of-sale for additional pairs regardless of style or manufacture, 
  ensuring compliance with the BNSF safety requirements as outlined 
  in Safety Rule S-21.2.2. 
  In the event of catastrophic damage to the current pair or 
  other unusual circumstances, an employee may be able to receive 
  BNSF 80% subsidy for more than one pair of boots if a Vice President 
  approval is given by voice mail or in writing to Rob Roy of Safety, 
  Training, and Operations Support, or Tamika Wingfield or Doug 
  Keady of Strategic Sourcing and Supply.  All situations will be 
  reviewed on a case by case basis. 



Q. Why was I charged 100% of the shoe purchase and received 
   no subsidy? 

  On purchases after October 1, 2001, if the employee purchased 
  boots but a twelve-month period has not passed between the current 
  purchase and the last purchase, the employee will not be eligible for 
  the subsidy and 100% of the boot purchase will be deducted from the 
  employee's payroll in two pay period deductions of 50% each. 



Q. How does the subsidy policy apply to White's Boots? 

  BNSF will pay the first $150 toward the purchase or 
  resole/remanufacture of a pair of White's boots within a 12-month 
  period.  If the purchase is the 2nd or more pair within the 12-month 
  period, the employee is responsible for the entire cost of the boot. 
  The balance will be payroll deducted over the next two pay periods. 
  White's will remanufacture its boots for life.  The cost of 
  remanufacture is approximately $160.  BNSF will pay the first $150 
  of resole/remanufacture cost once per year, if eligible. 

Q. How does the subsidy policy apply to White's PAC Boots? 

  Any White's PAC Boot purchase will be considered the one pair 
  of safety boots per 12 months. 



Q. Is the Winter PAC Boot part of the new safety shoe policy? 

  No, the Winter Wear Shoe Program is an additional benefit 
  except as pertains to the White's PAC Boots previously discussed. 
  The policy on the Winter Program remains unchanged.  This policy 
  allows for one (1) pair of approved Winter boots (PACs) per rolling 
  18 months based on the individual employees last purchase date. 
  This program utilizes the same voucher system and requires 
  supervisor approval, however the boots are ordered and received 
  through a mail-order program from Chet's boots.  For more 
  information about this program please contact Chet's at 
  1-800-499-5476 or utilize the BNSF Intranet at the following link: 
  http://bnsfweb.bnsf.com/departments/safety/winter_footwear_page.html 



Q. Why will Red Wing shoes not be available under the policy in 2002? 

  BNSF evaluated all potential suppliers using a rating system that 
  included product cost, quality, and distribution network among several 
  other criteria.  Using this system, Red Wing did not rank high enough 
  to be selected as a supplier.  BNSF will re-evaluate all Safety Shoe 
  suppliers again at the end of 2002. 

Q. Where do I refer a Red Wing Retailer for information on the 
   new program? 

  Call Tamika Wingfield at company line 352-2268 or Doug 
  Keady at 352-3368. 

Q. Where do I get more information regarding the policy or 
   help to resolve problems?

  If you have questions or concerns, please call the Strategic 
  Sourcing Safety Shoe Hotline at company line 352-0136.  Your 
  call will be returned within 24-48 hours Monday-Friday.

TEXAS DIVISION 

SYSTEM GENERAL NOTIC NO. 64 

TO ALL CONCERNED, 

SUBJECT: Locomotive Toilets and Sewage Treatment Systems 
SUBDIVISION: All 

Inca locomotive cab toilets must be manually  purged through the diesel 
shops sewage treatment systems.  Microphor chlorinated toilet systems 
are not manually purged but treat human waste and toilet paper through 
the use of filters, bacteria, and chlorine tablets. 

The Environmental and Mechanical Departments at BNSF must clean, 
maintain, and environmentally ensure that the sewage treatment systems 
across the railroad are functioning properly.  They request the 

following from all employees that use these locomotive cab toilet 
systems: 

MICROPHOR TOILET SYSTEMS - It is extremely important that only human 
waste and toilet paper go into these toilet systems.  Anything else 
corrupts the entire toilet system and turns into extra and 

unnecessary work for the diesel shop forces.  They have to dismantle 
the entire Microphor System, clean, disinfect, and reinstall it back 
into the cab of the locomotive. 

INCA AND OTHER CHEMICALLY TREATED STORAGE TOILETS - While these 
locomotive toilet systems are not as sensitive as the Microphor Systems, 
it is important to note that only human waste and toilet paper should 
go into these toilets.  Tossing trash items into these types of toilets, 
such as plastic water bottles, pop cans, Teri Towels (or similar brands 
of reinforced towels), causes the sanitary sewage lift station motors 
at the diesel shops to seize and eventually burn up when contents of 
these toilets are purged by the diesel shop personnel.  In turn, 
employees from the Water Service Department have to either repair or 
replace these motors by removing all of this trash from the lift 
station units to service the problem.

Switch point indicator on spring switch MP 5.9 OGE's spur, Red 
Rock. 

OGE unit coal trains from Wright, Wyoming to Sooner Generating 
Station near Red Rock will consist of approximately 115 cars and 
will be powered by both BNSF and UP power. All information relating 
to these trains will be handled by the Field Support in Fort Worth, 
such as times in and out of Arkansas City, information, Form 1525, 
dumping of the train and all delays associated with the same. 

Conductors on OGE unit coal trains upon arrival at Sooner Plant 
should arrange to notify Field Support, giving them arrival time 
and start time for dumping. When dumping is completed, again notify 
Field Support and give them the time completed and the departure 
time from the plant. 
The crew will ride the head end of train from Arkansas City and one 
member of train crew must remain with the dumper operator in the 
dumper control room at all times while train is in dumping operation. 
Normal position of the loop track switch is lined and locked for 
tangent track to provide for a counter clockwise movement of train. 
The normal position of the industry track switch is lined and 
locked for the loop track. A derail is installed on industry track 
lead 500 feet beyond switch off loop track. 



Train must proceed through dumper on authority and instructions from 
dump operator. When entering and moving through dumper, do so with 
the bell on, not exceeding 2 MPH through dumper. 

Reverse movement must not be made through dumper unless authorized 
by dumper operator.  Under the direction of the dumper operator, the 
train crew will individually spot the first 3 cars for unloading. 
The dumper operator will then notify the engineer who will center 
the reverse lever and release the automatic and independent air brakes. 
On the direction of the dumper operator it may be necessary to cut off 
the head 10-20 cars for unloading. Train crew will manually spot 
the head 3 cars. Dumper operator will control remainder of cut of cars. 
After this cut is dumped and on the direction of the dumper operator 
it will be necessary to back through dumper and pick up the remaining 
portion of train for dumping. 
The subsequent cars will then be automatically indexed and dumped 
until reaching 2 cars preceding the rear of train. 
At this point, manual operation is again required in order to dump 
these 2 cars. Manual operation will then be handled as instructed 
by dumper operator. 

Air hoses may sometimes separate during dumping operation and train 
crews should be alert to this possibility. 
Upon completion of the unloading cycle, control of the empty train 
is returned to the train crew. 
When handling cars into Track 3011, 3012, 3013 and 3014, cars will 
be handled in cuts of 30 cars or less. 
During the unloading cycle, it will be necessary that the train 
and engine crew remain with the train. No eating facilities are 
available at the OGE Plant. 

When handling ETD's all movement must be stopped. Remove ETD's 
only at one of the road crossings west of the dump station. Replace 
ETD's only at the platform 240 feet east of the dump station. If 
cars need to be uncoupled prior to entering the dump station, 
they must be uncoupled from the north side of the tracks. Watch 
your footing around dump station and be aware of drainage ditches 
in close proximity to tracks through dump station. If trains are 
left abandoned at the coal plant, leave reverser in proper place on

BNSF Railway Co. 
TEXAS DIVISION 

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 85 

TO ALL CONCERNED, 

SUBJECT: Revised Policy for Employee Performance Accountability 
SUBDIVISION: All 

************************************************************************* 
  Explanation:  Paragraph titled Signal and Track Authority Violations 

                that specified discipline duration is deleted. 
************************************************************************* 
General Notice No. 6 is cancelled and the following applies: 

Policy for Employee Performance Accountability 
In effect July 1, 2000 (Revised June 7, 2002) 

Statement of Principles 

Our vision is to realize the tremendous potential of BNSF by providing 
transportation services that consistently meet or exceed our customers' 
expectations. BNSF is a community of mutually dependent members 
whose collective efforts will realize our vision. As a member of the 
BNSF community, each of us also has the right to a safe work 
environment for the sake of ourselves, our co-workers, our customers 
and the communities we serve. 

This policy is designed to support BNSF's vision of becoming 
injury-and accident-free. It is designed, first, to encourage all BNSF 
employees to be actively engaged in safe work behaviors and in 
ensuring a safe work environment. Second, when a rule violation 
occurs, this policy provides a process for arriving at an understanding 
of improvements needed to prevent similar rule violations. Third, for 
those rare cases where there is a marked disregard for safety and 
BNSF rules and procedures, it provides a process to enforce BNSF 
and federal safety requirements. 

To ensure a safe environment, the movement of trains and the 
maintenance of equipment, track and facilities must adhere to 
carefully designed rules and procedures. Violation of these rules 
and procedures may result in death, injury and/or substantial 
financial loss, and, therefore, will be treated in a serious manner. 
BNSF employees are responsible for safe behaviors that comply 
with BNSF rules and procedures, and with federal requirements. 

This policy is intended to help employees with that compliance so 
that every member of the BNSF community has an equal 
opportunity to achieve his or her full potential. 

General Information 

a. If this policy conflicts with BNSF's alcohol/drug or engineer 
   decertification policies, attendance guidelines, schedule agreements, 
   or applicable FRA, DOT or other federal regulations, they take 

   precedence over this policy. (See Appendix D for information 
   on handling train, yard and engine (TY&E) attendance violations.) 

b. Circumstances surrounding a serious incident may reduce 
   an employee's personal culpability. In such cases the employee's 
   supervisor may choose to handle the incident according to the 
   general guidelines. If there is any doubt as to how an incident 
   should be handled, supervisors are instructed to err on the side 
   of leniency. 

c. Alternative handling may be offered by an employee's 
   supervisor for a second or subsequent non-serious incident. 

d. Employees will not be disciplined for "late reporting" 
   of muscular-skeletal injuries, as long as the injury is reported 
   within 72 hours of the probable triggering event, the employee 
   notifies the supervisor before seeking medical attention, and 
   the medical attention verifies that the injury was most likely 
   linked to the event specified. 

General Guidelines 

Non-Serious Rule Violations 

These guidelines address cumulative behavior. A non-serious 
rule violation is one that is neither serious (as defined herein) 
nor dismissable (as defined herein). An employee who 
demonstrates a pattern of (non-aggravated) misconduct may 
ultimately be dismissed if performance does not improve. 
Serious rule violations will be handled according to more 
stringent principles. 

a. An employee involved in a first non-serious incident may 
   choose alternative handling. Examples of alternative handling 
   include coaching and counseling, training, or the Safety Incident 
   Analysis Process (see Appendix A). The employee's record 
   will not be marked, but the alternative handling will be noted 
   in the operations testing database and a letter will be sent to 
   the employee documenting the findings. A copy of this letter 
   will be maintained locally. 

b. Subsequent rule violations, provided they are not of a 
   serious or dismissable nature, will result in a record suspension, 
   the length of which will be determined by the number of prior rule 
   violations within a rolling 12-month review period.  An employee 
   involved in a second, third or fourth non-serious rule violation 
   within this review period will be given a record suspension of 
   10, 20 or 30 days respectively. (A record suspension is recorded 
   on an employee's personal record as a record suspension and is 
   not actually served.) Five incidents of any kind within a 12-month 
   period will subject the employee to dismissal. (The employee's 
   supervisor may offer alternative handling instead of imposing a 
   record suspension for a second, third or fourth incident. Note 
   that, in such cases, the incident is recorded in the operations 
   testing database, but is not recorded on the employee's personal 
   record and does not count as a discipline incident.) 

Serious Rule Violations 

a. A non-exhaustive list of serious rule violations is provided 
   in Appendix B. 

b. An employee involved in a serious incident will be given a 
   30-day record suspension and may be offered training to help 
   correct the behavior that gave rise to this discipline. If an 
   employee declines training, an actual suspension may be 
   imposed. An actual suspension also may be imposed in 
   cases where, in the opinion of management, employees' 
   behavior threatens their own safety or the safety of their 
   co-workers or the community. 

c. A second serious incident within a 36-month review 
   period will subject the employee to dismissal. 
   Exception: The serious-incident review period will be 
   reduced to 12 months for employees who have completed 
   at least five years' service and who have been injury-free 
   and discipline-free during the five years of service preceding 
   their first serious incident. 

d. In some cases, alternative handling may be offered to 
   employees involved in serious rule violations, in lieu 
   of record suspension. 

Dismissable Violations 

The ultimate sanction of dismissal may be imposed in response 
to a single aggravated offense, as listed in Appendix C. Dismissal 
also may be imposed in response to a series of rule violations, 
coupled with no sign of significant improvement in the employee's 
behavior. There are essentially four events or combinations of 
events that may result in dismissal: 
  A single aggravated offense considered dismissable 
  (see Appendix C), 
  Two serious rule violations (see Appendix B) within 
  36 months (or within 12 months, if the employee's record 
  review period was reduced to recognize five years of injury- 
  and discipline-free service), 
  Five violations of any kind in a 12-month period (which 
  may include a combination of non-serious, serious and attendance 
  violations), 
  Four active train, yard and engine (TY&E) attendance 
  violations, or a combination of three active TY&E attendance 
  violations and a serious violation in the last 36 months (or within 
  12 months, if the employee's record review period was reduced 
  to recognize five years of injury- and discipline-free service). 

Attendance Violations 

Violations of BNSF's train, yard and engine (TY&E) Attendance 
Guidelines may subject an employee to discipline as described in 
this policy and in Appendix D to this policy. The discipline matrix 
in Appendix D also applies to violations of the clerical Attendance 
Guidelines. Attendance guidelines for other non-TY&E employees 
will also remain in effect. 

Discipline Review 

All dismissals and actual suspensions of 30 days or greater must 
be reviewed by the director-employee performance. 

All dismissals will be reviewed by participants in the Senior Vice 
President Operations' safety meeting. 

Appendix A 

Safety Incident Analysis Process 

Employees involved in rule violations that would have resulted 
in a formal investigation may be allowed to handle their case 
through alternative handling. One type of alternative handling 
is the Safety Incident Analysis Process (SIAP). 

The objective of SIAP is to identify and eliminate work practice 
risks that lead directly to an accident experience.  This process 
is divided into three key areas: 
1. Analyzing all rule violations using a multiple cause approach 
   that identifies all root causes. 
2. Developing and implementing a safety activity plan that 
   will eliminate and/or reduce the occurrence of future similar rule 
   violations. 
3. Providing scheduled follow-up to ensure safety activity 
   plan is working as expected. 

The process works like this: 
  When an incident occurs a labor/management team is 
  assembled.  The employee or employees are represented by 
  an employee(s) of their choice.  Labor and management must 
  have a trained member participating in each Safety Incident 
  Analysis Process.  This is not intended to keep an untrained 
  employee or manager from participating in the process. 
  If the labor organization involved decides not to participate, 
  the formal investigation process will be used. 
  The team meets, including the involved employee(s), and 
  gathers all the facts concerning the incident. Interviewing 
  employee(s) involved will be necessary to determine all the facts. 
  Facts surrounding the case will remain confidential and not used 
  in future formal hearings. 
  An analysis is conducted using a multi-cause accident 
  analysis approach. 
  A safety activity plan is developed using recommendations 
  from the multi-cause incident analysis.  Team members will use 
  consensus to determine the most appropriate and effective plan 
  to eliminate the risk of future rule violations. The plan will be 
  targeted at removing obstacles that may prevent an employee(s) 
  from performing their work according to "best practices." 
  Best practices are defined as our established rules, policies, 
  procedures and instructions that we use to safely and efficiently 
  conduct operations on BNSF. 
  Changes to the work process can include skills training, rule or 
  policy development or modification, hazard correction, supervisor 
  responsibility changes, enhancements to inspections, audits, etc. 
  Each member of the labor/management team agrees upon 
  measurement of the safety activity plan.  The employee's immediate 
  supervisor and organization representative conduct scheduled 
  follow-up over a time period agreed upon by the group. 

A copy of the multi-cause incident analysis worksheet and safety 
activity plan will be kept on file by the immediate supervisor. 
If involved employee(s) continue to perform their work according 
to "best practices" during the timeframe agreed upon by the group, 
the safety activity plan will be closed, and the worksheet, plan and 
supporting documentation should be maintained in a file separate 
from the employee's personal file. 

Measurement of safety activities will be conducted through the 
following methods: 
- Operations Testing and auditing will be conducted by management. 
- Personal Safety Contacts will be conducted separately by both 
  management and labor representatives. 
If work practice behavior has not changed positively as a result 
of the follow-up measurement, actions will be initiated through 
conventional policies and procedures for corrective action. 

Safety activities that are the responsibility of management for 
correction or completion will be placed on an activity timetable 
and monitored by the labor/management team. 

This process is designed to identify and eliminate/reduce both 
physical and human factor risks that are associated with potential 
future accidents and injuries.  If this process is executed and 
maintained in the positive manner it is intended, many of the risks 
that are driving our present accident experience can be eliminated.

Appendix D 


Handling Attendance Violations (per TY&E Attendance 
Guidelines) 

BNSF established Attendance Guidelines in March 2000 that 
describe certain minimum attendance standards for train, yard 
and engine employees in full time service. These Attendance 

Guidelines refer to a discipline sequence that will remain intact 
and will supercede the revised PEPA for handling attendance 
violations. If the employee's only violations are attendance 
violations as defined by the Attendance Guidelines, the following 
matrix applies: 

Current record                    Result 
_____________________________________________________________ 
First attendance violation*       Formal Reprimand 
Second attendance violation       10 day record suspension 
Third attendance violation        20 day record suspension 
Fourth attendance violation       Employee may be dismissed 

* Assumes employee has not been disciplined for attendance 
in the last 12 months. (Note that the review period established 
for attendance violations in the Attendance Guidelines requires 
that an employee work 12 months without an attendance discipline 
incident before an attendance violation is considered inactive.) 

If an employee's violations are a combination of PEPA rule 
violations and attendance violations, the following points apply, 
as established in the Attendance Guidelines: 
  The first attendance violation is NOT subject to alternative 
  handling. It must be handled with a formal reprimand. Subsequent 
  attendance violations are handled at the level reflecting the total 
  number of active attendance violations. 
  The pattern of behavior is considered dismissable if the 
  employee has a total of four active attendance violations or three 
  active attendance violations and a serious rule violation within the 
  past 36 months (or the past 12 months, if the employee's record 
  review period was reduced to recognize five years of injury- and 
  discipline-free service). 
  The pattern of behavior is also considered dismissable if the 
  employee has a total of five rule violations of any kind in a 12-month 
  period (which may include a combination of non-serious, serious and 
  attendance violations). 
  Note that the review period established for attendance violations 
  in the TY&E Attendance Guidelines requires that an employee 
  work 12 months without an attendance discipline incident before 
  an attendance violation is considered inactive.

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 95

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: TY&E Compensation Systems - Topeka
SUBDIVISION: All

On July 15, 2002, the following changes will be implemented
in the Paperless Tie-up and Special Claims system regarding
the use of arbitrary and penalty CA codes:

1) 98 redundant and/or not used CA codes will be eliminated
from the paperless menu.  Please make sure and review the
paperless menu listing after 07/15/02.  This will help you
identify the proper CA code to use.

2) Pop-up express screens will be added for more CA codes,
requesting specific information to verify your claims.  Additional
remarks are being removed from express screens because
the pop-up information is all that is needed to verify your claim.

3) A new Code FE (Further Explanation) will be added to the
system for trip tickets so you can explain portions of your
trip that are not covered by a CA code.  One example would
be for explaining miles in your working trip that are more
or less than a basic day.   Use FE for information only.
Arbitrary and penalty claims must not be made using FE.

4) Beginning July 15 through August 18, we will be phasing
out CA Code 99.  For this 35-day period, when CA Code 99
is used, TY&E Compensation Systems will send you a
message advising you that your claim using Code 99 has
been processed, but the appropriate CA code must be
used in the future.  Your Compensation Specialist will
also advise you what CA code you should have used.
On August 19th, CA Code 99 will be purged from the
system and no longer available for use.

5) CA Code 73 will be used for Miscellaneous Agreement
Violations for special claims not covered by a CA code.
_For example, Code 73 will be used for issue cases such
as unpaved parking or transporting air packs that have
no specific CA codes._  When using Code 73, you must
provide the rule or agreement provision that was violated.

6) After August 18th, claims made using the wrong CA codes
will be declined as improperly claimed, indicating what
the right code is. For example, a YA (Yard Runaround)
claim submitted under code MC (Crew Mishandling) will
be declined account improperly submitted._  You will
then need to re-submit the claim using the correct code.

BNSF Railway Co.
TEXAS DIVISION

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 96

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: TSS-TIE-UP INSTRUCTIONS
SUBDIVISIONS:  ALL


Texas Division General Notice No. 12 is canceled.

*****************************************************************
* EXPLANATION: Texas Division General Notice No. 12 is canceled *
* and is being reissued with the elimination of one paragraph   *
* that stated in part " Employees are encouraged to commit their*
* tickets at the completion of their tour of duty".             *
* IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND it is your responsibility to tie up   *
* up the end of your tour of duty!                              *
*****************************************************************


At the end of your tour of duty, it is your responsibility
to tie-up.  Computer terminals have been provided to accommodate
the tie-up process at off duty locations.

In the event the computer system is down, there is equipment
failure at your location, or you are at a location where there
is no equipment, tie-up can be handled through the tie-up
recorder line or with Crew Support.  IN ALL OTHER INSTANCES,
TIE-UP IS TO BE DONE THROUGH THE COMPUTER TERMINALS AT THE
COMPLETION OF YOUR TOUR OF DUTY.  Contact your Division
Director of Administration if you regularly tie-up at a
location where there is no computer equipment to facilitate
your tie-up.

Employees who come under the hours of service will be permitted
to tie-up and commit that tour of duty's ticket, but will not be
allowed to commit any outstanding tickets at that time; employee
will have to commit outstanding tickets the next time on duty.


TIE-UP INSTRUCTIONS

Any TEY crew who does not have a ticket to tie up after completion of
their shift should utilize one of the following options:

     1c - to create an override yard ticket.
     1d - to create an override road ticket.

In order to ensure proper information input into the TSS Crew System,
all adhere to the following tie-up instructions.

All TEY Employees are required to tie up on completion of each trip or
shift worked.  The method of tying up should be:

1.  Tie-up and completion of trip ticket in the TSS paperless timekeeping
system
        or
2.  Tie-up on the tie-up recorder in Crew Management

Effective immediately, some initial changes of an FRA compliance
package will be phased into the TSS Tie Up/Send Ticket Option 15.

These changes will affect those employees who have
exceeded 12 hours from their on duty time on their
current service trip.  Once 12 hours is exceeded,
only the CURRENT ticket can be completed.  Employees
will not be able to access older tickets that have
not been completed.  This 'lockout' will
prevent access to any incompleted tickets until
the employee is again on duty for service.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

1.  Why are these changes being made?
  A:  To comply with the Federal Hours of Service Law.

2.  What if I'm relieved of responsibility before the
    12 hour limit, but upon transport to terminal, 12 hours
    is exceeded?
  A:  Those in this situation will be limited to only
      the current working ticket.

3.  What if I'm going on vacation immediately following
    my current trip, have exceeded 12 hours, and have
    incomplete tickets to send?
  A:  Once 12 hours is exceeded, you will only be able
      to complete your current working ticket.  You will have
      to send the old ones when on duty again after your
      vacation.  It is important to complete working tickets
      at the end of each tour of duty whenever possible.

4.  What if I need to submit a special claim after I've
    exceeded 12 hours?

********  FRA SIGNATURE COPY OF TY&E TIMESLIP  ***********

Each TY&E employee who ties up and submits and electronic timeslip
is furnished two (2) copies of the electronic timeslip.  One copy
is for employee retention and the other copy is to be signed by
the employee and placed into a box at the tie up location.  The
signature copy is then to be retained by the Carrier at that
location for FRA reporting inspections purposes.

The second option should only be used if CPU is down, crew has more than
12 hours on duty, or any other condition exists that prevents a timely
tie-up.  When tie-up information provided in this manner, the following
information must be included:
1.  Off duty location
2.  Train symbol
3.  Job or pool number
4.  Switch (arrival) time
5.  Off duty time and date
6.  Time on duty (both time on duty and any transport time, given
    separately)

7.  Any other information necessary to comply with agreement issues,
    such as runarounds, board standing, etc.

When tieing-up on the paperless timekeeping system, the input of 12
or more hours in the total time on duty field will result in a mandatory
ten hour rest requirement.  Also the input of an excess of 12 hours in
the total time on duty field will result in filling out an FRA Hours of

Service Law screen.  If you have 12 or more hours on duty, but less than
12 of the hours are applicable to the hours of service law, be sure you
only input actual hours applicable to the Federal Hours of Service Law.

Example:  Crew is on duty at 0100, is removed from train enroute final
destination at 1230, and arrives at destination station at 1400.  This
would result in 11 hours and 30 minutes on duty applicable to the FRA
Hours of Service Law.  In the paperless timekeeping system, crew should
indicate 11 hours and 30 minutes in the total time on duty field and an
off duty time of 1400.  This will result in the crew being compensated
for the entire trip, however, will only require the crew to have 8
hours rest prior to start of next trip or shift.

All Eastbound trains whose length prohibits clearing MP 1.2 Peach
Street crossing when stopped at Tower 55, must stop back of Peach
Street until a proceed signal is received at Tower 55.


Trains departing North Yard in the direction of Tower 55 will notify
the North Yard Yardmaster, who will contact the UPRR Terminal Train
Dispatcher(TTD). If the UPRR TTD indicates that the train will be
able to go directly through Tower 55, the train may proceed past
Peach Street to the tower. If the dispatcher indicates the train will
have to wait or be delayed at Tower 55, the train must stop prior to
reaching Peach Street and remain there until a proceed indication is
received from the UPRR TTD at Tower 55. While stopped at Peach Street
trains will monitor UPRR Channel 78 for information from the UPRR TTD
(if a pakset is in possession, monitor Channel 75). If no information
is received from the UPRR TTD regarding when you will be released to

proceed toward Tower 55, contact the dispatcher every 15 minutes until
a time of release is received.

If unable to contact the UPRR TTD, contact the North Yard Yardmaster
on Channel 75. The Yardmaster will contact the UPRR TTD to determine

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 144

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: Yard Van Service - Ft Worth Area

Texas Division General Notice No. 120 is canceled.


EXPLANTION: Update to item 3.

In an effort to reduce costs and to optimize our use of the
Renzenberger Yard vans in the Fort Worth area the following
guidelines will be adhered to.

1. Yard vans at Alliance will take their instructions from the
Terminal Switch Tender or ATM. Yard vans at Ft Worth will take
their instructions from the Yardmaster.

2. Crews needing the services of the yard van will request
such service through the Alliance Terminal Switch Tender or
Ft Worth Yardmaster depending upon location.

3. Inbound train crews will be driven from the yard to the
Fairfield Inn. Crews may stop at a convenience store to pick up
food to go. Stopping at a restaurant for a sit down meal is not
authorized.

4. Crews will not instruct drivers to change radio channels
without first contacting the Switch Tender or Yardmaster. It
is important that the Switch Tender and Yardmaster be able
to communicate with the drivers at all times.

Additionally, be apprised that the Yard van at Irving, Texas
will be discontinued effective 1600 hours, December 22, 2002.

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 158

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: TSS Crew System
SUBDIVISION: All

*************************************************************************
Explanation:
Software is now available in TSSCREW that will allow TY&E employees to
make displacements on permanent positions as well as temporary positions
where applicable, with the use of the mainframe system and without agent
assistance.  The following is an explanation of how to access and use the
software. The software will only work for you if you have a valid
displacement, have accepted notification, are not in a lay off status and
are not on duty.
This software is designed to make seniority decisions based on the
seniority roster of the job incumbent and/or the position.  Many
different rosters govern positions protected by TY&E employees, only one
of which an individual must possess to occupy.
*************************************************************************

TY&E areas that are governed by the following former road and yard
agreements will have access to this software at 10:00 a.m. on the
following days for the following former agreement areas:

Tuesday April 22, 2003:

Ft Worth & Denver
Joint Texas Division
St Louis San Francisco
Colorado & Southern
Houston Belt & Terminal

Tuesday, April 29, 2003

Santa Fe Eastern/Western Lines
Santa Fe Northern/Southern Lines
Santa Fe Coast Lines

Tuesday, May 6, 2003

Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
Great Northern
Northern Pacific
Spokane, Pacific & Seattle

To utilize the software, please access according to the following.

Step 1

Access the software by selecting option CCTM 6 from the
main menu, then option 2 (Seniority Move).

Step 2

Several options are available to help with decision making on
displacement position election, including:

Option Pf4 - Lists all extra board positions at displacement
             terminal that individual can hold.
Option Pf5 - Lists all extra board positions at the terminal where
             displaced..
Option Pf10 - Lists all pool, local, roadswitcher and yard positions
              at displacement terminal that individual can hold.
Option Pf11 - Lists all pool, local, roadswitcher and yard positions
              at the terminal where displaced.


Note - Expanded seniority districts have made available jobs that
are not at the terminal of displacement.  If interested in a position
at another terminal or location, change the terminal name at the top
of the screen.

Note - It is possible to cursor select positions displayed from one
of the PF key lists and press the enter key twice and the displacement
is attempted.

Step 3

Enter the type of displacement - P = Permanent, T = Temporary

Step 4

Enter either the name of the person you are displacing, or the
job/position number you are displacing to.

Step 5

Press the enter key.

On completion, you must check the position you are displacing to
be sure your displacement has executed properly.

If you have any difficulty with the executing the transaction, you
still have the ability to contact a Crew Specialist to assist with
your displacement.

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: Restoring Main Track Switches to Proper Position
SUBDIVISION: All

A process change is scheduled to take place concerning
the position of main track switches in track warrant
control territory.

This process change will require a job briefing between the train
dispatcher and MW field employees, confirming the position
of main track switches within the limits, when reporting
clear of all track warrant authorities.  The current process

only requires the switch position briefing to take place after
reporting clear of joint authorities.

The estimated date of the cutover for this process is May 16, 2003.
At that time, the train dispatcher will be prompted to ask: "Are all
main track switches restored to proper position?"  It is permissible
and encouraged for MW employees to provide this information
when releasing track warrant authority without the dispatcher asking
the question.

REMEMBER - All BNSF employees are empowered to work
safely.  If you think a condition is unsafe, protect it, report it,
assist in correcting it, or use your expertise to provide a better

SYSTEM GENERAL NOTICE NO. 167

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: Awarding TY&E Bulletins
SUBDIVISION: All

Technology Services has completed development of crew
management software that will assist in the awarding of bulletins.
On Sunday May 25th, 2003 these changes will take effect.
Following is an example of how this new software will handle
multiple bids from an employee on assignments with different
bid closing times.   Your division crew manager can address
questions concerning this software.

Example:
John Doe, who is assigned to BNSF 02, has the following bids in:

1st Choice BNSF03   Bulletin   12 closing 1000
2nd Choice BNSF01   Bulletin    9 closing 0830
3rd Choice BNSF05   Bulletin   11 closing 0900

At 0830, if he is the senior bidder on Bulletin 9 he will be
assigned to BNSF01, and job BNSF02 will be posted.
At 0900, if he is the senior bidder on Bulletin 11 he will be
assigned to BNSF05 and BNSF01 will be posted.  At 1000,
if he is the senior bidder on Bulletin 12 he will be assigned
to BNSF03, and BNSF05 will be posted.

In this instance, Mr. Doe's bids are improper.  He should have
bid on each job separately, with no choices shown.  When he
stood to be assigned to Bulletin 9, he must either pull down
his bid, or accept assignment to the next position if his
seniority will allow him to hold.

A second example:

1st choice BNSF03   Bulletin 12   Closing 1000
2nd choice BNSF06   Bulletin 13   Closing 1000

Mr. Doe will be assigned to his preference account the jobs
he has indicated preference over close at the same time.

*******************************************************************

LAYING OFF COMPANY BUSINESS

Employees needing to lay off for company business must make request
to supervisor 48 hours in advance.

TY&E Layoff Policy

Employees must observe their assigned working or calling hours and
must not absent themselves from duty either excessively or without
permission of proper authority.  An employee asking to lay off must
state the length of time he/she wants to be off, and receive permission
to lay off before doing so.

    Layoffs on call are prohibited unless the employee makes
    prior arrangements with the proper authority.

Based on manpower needs, the caller will only authorize layoffs for
specific periods of time.  Engineers, and former AT&SF train and yard
employees, are automatically marked up at the expiration of the
approved absence. All other employees must mark up for service prior to
the expiration of that approved absence or be considered absent
without authority.

Employees may submit advance layoff requests.  This allows the crew
office to match manpower availability, including extra board sizing,
with manpower needs.  Layoff requests may be submitted up to 90 days
in advance.  Layoff request forms are available at your home terminal.

Employees with pre-approved layoffs, pre-approved Personal Leave days,
or scheduled vacations do not need to call the crew office to verify
they will be taking their approved time off. The crew office will
assume the employee is taking this time off unless the employee calls
in to cancel in advance.

Advance layoff requests are not mandatory, but are recommended
when possible.

It is important that employees report back promptly at the end of
their vacation.
Employees who fail to mark up or secure permission to be off
additional days at the end of their vacation will be considered as
being absent without authority.

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 190

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: Clifstone, TX - Martin Lake Rock Trains
SUBDIVISION: Ft Worth Sub

Effective immediately, the following instructions will apply for
inbound empty and outbound loaded Martin Lake Rock Trains operated
with Distributed Power.

INBOUND EMPTY TRAINS:
Trains will be set out with the Distributed Power locomotive(s)
attached. After shoving first track, place the Remote Distributed
Power consist in SETOUT MODE, make cut at the clearance point.
Shove second track, insuring the railroad diamond at Chemical Lime
is not blocked. Three units and 75 cars will fit using this scenario.

Secure train per ABTH 105.4.3, with the exception of using Train
Check while securing the head portion of the train. Secure the head
portion of train the same as a conventional train. This will allow
the train line to remain charged and eliminate the need for an air
test on this portion of the train. Also, you will not encounter a
Train Check fail warning.

OUTBOUND LOADED TRAINS:
After doubling train together, be governed by ABTH 105.5.5 and/or
Distributed Power Reference Guide to return the Remote Consist
to NORMAL MODE.

Any combination of the three locomotives is permissible on the
outbound loaded train. Remote and Lead Consist may have either one
or two locomotives. NOTE: Empty trains should not be operated with
more than one locomotive on line in the Remote Consist.

When ready to change operating ends, follow procedures outlined on
the Distributed Power Reference Guide and ABTH Rules. Unlink or End
Distributed Power on the Lead Consist. Shut OFF the Distributed Power
Computer breaker on Engine Control Panel then return to the ON position.
Next, go through the steps to Condition as the Remote Consist.

Next, go to the former Remote Consist and Unlink or End Distributed
Power. Shut OFF Distributed Power breaker on Engine Control Panel
then return to the ON position. Condition locomotive as Lead Consist
and make the required Brake Pipe Air Test to gain control of the
Remote Consist.

Following this guideline, only the portion of the train that was
originally placed in emergency will require an Air Test and will
now be the head portion of the outbound loaded train. This will only
apply if the head portion of the inbound train was left with air
in the trainline.

SYSTEM GENERAL NOTICE NO. 195

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: TY&E 2003 Employee Training Program - Revised 09/24/03
SUBDIVISION: All

*************************************************************************
Explanation:  This General Notice replaces all previous General Notices
concerning the TY&E 2003 Employee Training Program.

All changes from the previous General Notice are marked with **.
Fresno NetSim relocated from Fresno to Bakersfield.
*************************************************************************


TY&E 2003 EMPLOYEE BIENNIAL/TRIENNIAL RULES TRAINING PROGRAM

This notice not in effect until January 15, 2003.
Do not attempt training before that date. Scheduled due dates for 2003
will be displayed via paperless timekeeping on Monday, Jan. 13, 2003.

ALL active TY&E employees included in the following:

| TY&E employees who did not complete a rules review in 2002
| TY&E employees due engineer or hostler training in 2003

are subject to the 2003 TY&E training program.  Unless instructed
otherwise TY&E employees due BIENNIAL or TRIENNIAL rules training must
complete their 2003 requirements using CBT (Computer Based Training).
Additional arrangements will be made for those locations that do not have
CBT workstations. Employees who are furloughed, on leave of absence,
medical leave, etc., are excluded from this requirement.

All TY&E employees certified under 49CFR, Part 240 (EXCEPT Remote
Control Operators), will be referred to as ENGINEERS, regardless of what
craft they might be working in at the time their 2003 BIENNIAL OR
TRIENNIAL requirements are completed.

All other employees will be referred to as TRAIN AND YARD SERVICE
EMPLOYEES.

EXCEPTION:  NetSims have been placed at 24 locations across the
system.  Unless instructed otherwise, all engineers working at a NetSim
location and are scheduled for BIENNIAL or TRIENNIAL training,
regardless of the craft they might currently be working at the time they
are due training, must complete their scheduled training on a NetSim.
Hostlers are NOT considered as engineers in this instance.  They must
complete their required training at a CBT station.

Refer to the section of this notice titled  "NETSIM INSTRUCTIONS FOR
2003 BIENNIAL & TRIENNIAL ENGINEERS" for more specific information
and instructions concerning training at a NetSimulator location.

REVIEW MODULES

There are different types of review modules associated with the 2003
TY&E training programs depending upon which craft and type of training
an employee has been enrolled to complete; CBT training program and
NetSim training program:

| CBT Review Modules - CBT review modules for the standard 2003
  BIENNIAL and TRIENNIAL rules training programs are divided into
  REQUIRED and OPTIONAL choices.  The REQUIRED modules MUST
  be completed in their entirety before the employee will be allowed to
  take the appropriate examination.  Review modules are NOT
  interchangeable.

| NetSim Review Modules - Engineers due BIENNIAL or TRIENNIAL
  training utilizing a NetSim must complete ALL modules displayed.  The
  modules are not divided into OPTIONAL and REQUIRED choices.  If for
  any reason you are unable to participate in one of the NetSim programs
  as initially scheduled,  you must ensure that you have been enrolled in
  the appropriate CBT program by calling the CBT Helpdesk (8-593-4357).

All TY&E employees due BIENNIAL or TRIENNIAL training will be
notified of their scheduled date to attend via paperless timekeeping.
Employees must confirm receiving this information before completing
their current working ticket.

EXCEPTION: Employees whose scheduled test date falls during their
regularly assigned vacation must contact their Manager of Field Training
to reschedule.  They must also note this on their special claim for
compensation.  In addition, employees whose assigned test date is after
their recertification date, or do not receive an assigned date in a year
their certificate expires, must contact their Manager of Field Training
or Road Foreman of Engines so that a proper date can be scheduled.
ATTENTION:  The requirement to recertify is NOT waived because a
certified Engineer might be working in ground service.  They must
complete all requirements before their current license expires.  The
skills performance train ride can be completed at one of the NetSimulator
location if territory familiarization issues arise.

Employees entering the Student Engineer Training Program prior to
their assigned due date are not required to participate in the 2003
CBT Employee Training Program.

Employees in the 2003 New Hire Conductor Program are not required
to participate in the 2003 CBT Employee Training Program.

Engineers working under the BLE Collective Bargaining Agreement
will consider this notice as notification to attend the required rules
training on the date that has been scheduled and reflected via paperless
timekeeping.  No other form of notification to attend will occur unless
it is to inform them to attend in advance of the scheduled due date.
NOTE:  Scheduled dates may need to be periodically adjusted to
accommodate specialized or unplanned training needs at NetSim locations.

REQUIRED 2003 RULES REVIEW

Rules review and testing is not an option, it is required.  Failure to
complete the CBT program and examination by the due date will be handled
in accordance with past practice and applicable rules as follows:

1.Under BN collective bargaining agreements, a failure to complete
  the CBT program and examination by the due date is considered a test
  failure.  Employees will not be compensated for completing the
  examination on a later date.  Employees will be removed from service
  after 3 test failures and will remain out of service until successfully
  passing the required test.

2.Under ATSF collective bargaining agreements, a failure to complete
  the CBT program and examination on or before the due date is not
  considered a failure, but a discipline matter.  Investigations may be
  scheduled accordingly.  Employees will be removed from service
  after 2 test failures and will remain out of service until successfully
  passing the required test.

  Exception:  If you are a certified employee completing TRIENNIAL
  rules requirements, you must not operate a  locomotive or remote
  equipment, except in student status, until you have successfully passed
  the examination.  Certified employees failing the 3rd attempt will
  not be allowed to retake the examination until a period of seven days
  from the last failure has elapsed. This is in line with the BNSF's
  submission to the FRA concerning certified employees.

3.An employee who completes the CBT program and examination
  but fails to obtain a passing score on or before their due date has
  complied with instructions to take the required examination on
  the due date.  NOTE:  This statement means only that the employee
  has complied with instructions to attend on the required date. It does
  not indicate that a failing score satisfies the total requirements.
  A passing score must be obtained before the employee will be
  considered complete for 2003 rules training. Exceptions may be
  considered based on illnesses, emergencies or conditions beyond
  employees' control provided a supervisor is contacted as soon as
  the situation is known.

CREW SUPPORT NOTIFICATION

Employees who elect to complete the TY&E Employee Training
Program on their due date must contact the crew support center.
The crew support center will authorize attendance and place the
individual on the proper board or will require assignment protection.
Employees who are not allowed to lay off for their exam on their due
date because of manpower issues, must immediately attempt after
that tour of duty to again be allowed to attend rules training.  Once
attendance has been completed, the employee must note on their
special claim the name of the crew tech or manager that would not
authorize attendance on the initial due date.

EXAMINATION FAILURES - MINIMUM PASSING SCORES

Employees who fail to obtain the minimum passing score on their 1st
attempt will receive on-screen instructions for retaking the missed
questions that same day.  Employees failing the TRIENNIAL
recertification exam MUST NOT operate the controls of a locomotive
until successfully passing the examination.

Minimum passing score for a TRIENNIAL Engineer is 90%
Minimum passing score for a TRIENNIAL Hostler is 90%.
Minimum passing score for a promoted BIENNIAL employee is 80%.
Minimum passing score for a Non-Promoted BIENNIAL employee is 70%
Minimum passing score for a REINSTATED promoted employee is 90%
Minimum passing score for a REINSTATED non-promoted employee is 80%

NOTE: When submitting special claims for payment, it must be noted
in the comment section if an employee is not a promoted conductor or
engineer; thereby requiring only 70% to pass the examination.

NOTE: Employees completing TRIENNIAL or REINSTATEMENT
requirements must be "proctored" before they will be allowed to take
the examination.  Proctoring the examination means a supervisor (or
their designee) has positively identified the employee prior to
beginning the actual examination.  They will also be advised that
the examination must be taken without reference materials except
when authorized otherwise by on-screen instructions.  All of the
REQUIRED modules must be completed before an employee requests
a supervisor to call the HELP DESK to authorize enrollment into the
examination.

HOURS OF SERVICE

Regardless of whether an employee volunteers or is mandated to
attend, time spent completing the 2003 CBT Employee Training
Program will be considered as time on duty under the Hours of
Service Act.  The modules can be completed all in one sitting or
one-at-a-time.  The duration of the review and examination will be
approximately eight (8) hours.

Employees who elect to complete the modules and examination
between trips or regular assignments must consider time spent
on the computer as on-duty time under the Hours of Service Act.
Employees who do elect to complete the required program on a
volunteer basis must not allow this to conflict with their job
responsibilities or regular assignments due to Hours of Service
requirements.

COMPENSATION

The program allows for voluntary completion in advance of the
due date for employees working under any UTU Collective Bargaining
Agreement (CBA).  Those employees may complete the CBT
program and examination in advance of their due dates.  If completed
prior to the due date, the employee will be paid $200.00.

The following CA (Constructive Allowance) codes MUST be used
to receive payment.

| TI - TRAINING INCENTIVE.   To be used only by employees
  covered by a UTU CBA who voluntarily complete the CBT program
  and examination prior to the scheduled due date.
| CT - TRAINING PAYMENT.  To be used by employees
  covered by a UTU CBA who complete training requirements on
  or after their due dates.  To be used by employees covered by a BLE
  CBA who complete the 2003 CBT employee-training requirement.

NETSIM INSTRUCTIONS FOR 2003 BIENNIAL & TRIENNIAL ENGINEERS

Engineers due Biennial or Triennial training in 2003 will be required
to complete their training on a NetSim if one is available at their home
location.  This requirement applies regardless of what craft an
Engineer might be working at the time they are due for training.
Example:  If an Engineer is working on the ground as a Conductor,
he/she will be required to complete their 2003 training as an Engineer.

2003 Scheduled NetSim Training Programs

Biennial Engineer Training:

Engineers scheduled for Biennial training at NetSim locations will
complete approximately 8 hours of training.  The training will consist
of relevant CBT modules, two monitored fuel runs and three to six
unusual event scenarios.  This training will also satisfy mountain grade
requirements for engineers working in those territories.  There is no
written exam associated with this training.

Triennial Engineer Training:

A One-Day Triennial Engineer Recertification NetSim program has
been developed for use in 2003 at locations that have a NetSim.
The program will take approximately 8 hours to complete and
will satisfy both written and skill performance (3-year train ride)
requirements.  It will consist of approximately 2.5 hours of review
modules with a 30 question exam, one green familiarization run
and two scored runs on the NetSim.  A score of at least 90% must
be attained on the written exam and 70% on at least one of the
scored simulator runs to successfully complete those portions
of an engineers' recertification requirements.

Exception: If an engineer should fail to achieve a passing score on
one of three evaluated simulator runs, he/she will be required to
complete the 2003 Triennial Rules Program (100-question exam).
This is in line with the BNSF's submission to the FRA concerning
certified employees.

ATTENTION: Engineers scheduled for either of the above NetSim
programs should come prepared to take the Standard 2003 Biennial or
Triennial Rules Program (100 question exam) in the unlikely event
the NetSim is out of order on their scheduled day.  Rules to Study
and other appropriate training and review materials are noted at
the end of this notice.

The engineer instructor at the Technical Training Center will be
considered the proctor for this program.

Sufficient time has been allotted to complete the modules, exam and
simulator runs on the scheduled due date. Engineers scheduled for
Triennial Recertification at a NetSim location SHOULD NOT attempt to
complete any review modules in advance of their scheduled date.

Hostlers scheduled for Triennial recertification must complete
their testing requirements at a CBT workstation.  They will not utilize
a NetSim for any portion of their training at the current time.

NetSims are currently located at the following locations:

Alliance, NE    Dilworth, MN       Lacrosse, WI      Saginaw, TX
Amarillo, TX    ** Bakersfield,CA  Lincoln, NE       San Bernardino, CA

Certain other home stations are close enough in proximity to a
NetSim location that Engineers who are due training or
recertification in 2003 will be required to complete their
training on a NetSim.  Engineers due Biennial or Triennial
training working out of the following locations will be expected
to travel to the NetSim indicated below for their 2003 training
requirements:

Ft. Worth, Alliance and Cleburne, TX will complete training
  on the NetSim in Saginaw, TX.
Los Angeles will complete training on the NetSim in
  San Bernardino, CA.
Houston and Galveston, TX will complete training on the
  NetSim in Pearland, TX.
Kansas City, KS and Kansas City, MO will complete training on
  the NetSim at Murray Yard in Kansas City, MO.
Aurora, Cicero and Chicago, IL will complete training on the
  NetSim in Corwith, IL.
Albuquerque will complete training on the NetSim in Belen, NM
Omaha will complete training on the NetSim in Lincoln, NE
Interbay, Tacoma and Everett, WA will complete training on the
  NetSim in Seattle, WA

TRAINING INSTRUCTIONS FOR NETSIM LOCATIONS

An Engineer Instructor at the BNSF Technical Training Center will
coordinate the agenda for your training day. Comply with the following
instructions prior to logging on to CBT or NetSim:

| Call the appropriate Conference Bridge for your NetSim
  location between 0745 and NO LATER than 0800 hours CST
  (Central Standard Time).  NOTE:  Telephone conference
  bridges do not operate in the same manner as a typical phone
  call.  Someone does not answer "HELLO".  After the number
  rings a couple of times, the ringing will stop and the employee
  must announce they are on the bridge.  The "dead air" effect
  (no ringing or busy signal) indicates the bridge has properly
  connected.  If no one answers after you have announced
  yourself, that means the instructor or other NetSimulator
  locations haven't dialed into the bridge.  Continue to hold
  and periodically announce your presence until one of the
  instructors dials in to give you further instructions.  If you
  should get a busy signal, try one of the other bridge numbers
  noted at the other locations.  If none of the bridges appear to
  be working, call the "other" numbers indicated for further
  instructions.
| Unless otherwise provided for or instructed, employees
  who are not scheduled for the current day may be instructed
  to complete the standard 2003 rules training program at a CBT
  workstation.

COMPUTER/NETWORK PROBLEMS

Employees who cannot complete their required modules and
exams because of problems with CBT computers or the
Network, MUST request a TROUBLE TICKET NUMBER
from the HELP DESK (8-593-4357) at the time of the problem.
This number must be included with an explanation in the
comment section of the special claim being submitted for
payment.  If the problem cannot be corrected on a particular

SUBJECT: TEXAS DIVISION SAFETY AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
SUBDIVISION: ALL

Texas Division General Notice No. 177 is canceled.
**********************************************************************

Effective May 1, 2003, the Texas Division Safety Decision Awareness
Campaign was started. The Campaign's mission statement is as follows:

"With your help, we can reduce injuries in 2003."  This means safety
is everyone's responsibility, management's and employees alike.  As a
team, we can focus on reducing risk to the lowest possible level in
an effort to minimize the likelihood of an injury taking place rather
than, reacting to them after they occur.  Neither of us are immune to
danger.  Together we can enjoy the benefits of working safe and take
pride in becoming number one in safety system wide.

The Texas Division Safety Decision Awareness Campaign will work as
follows:

Texas Division lapel pins will be worn by Texas Division Officers.
A craft employee who approaches an officer who is not wearing their
pin, asks him/her about the Texas Division Safety Decision Campaign.
The Officer will ask the employee about the focus safety items that
drive our injury, severity and rail equipment incident experience
as listed below.  If the craft employee can recite the focus safety
items as listed below, the officer will submit his/her name and
employee number to the Division Office.  That employee will be mailed
a Texas Division collectible coin. The complete Texas Division coin
set consist of 5 coins. Each coin represents one of the former roads
that make up the Texas Division. (ATSF, BN, FWD, FRISCO, BNSF). Only
one set per employee and one coin will be given per quarter.

The third quarter of the "Coin Program" will begin on October 1, 2003.
Employees will be issued the first quarter coin if it the first time the
employee has "caught" a supervisor without his pin or the second coin if
it is the second time he has "caught" a supervisor, and so on.



FOCUS SAFETY ITEMS  (All Departments)
------------------

1. Situational Awareness (Focus on Task at Hand)

2. Communication

3. Pinch Points

TEXAS DIVISION

GENERAL NOTICE NO. 200

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: VOICE TRAIN REPORTING (VTR)
SUBDIVISION: ALL


Monday, October 13, 2003 at 0800 hours the implementation of a Voice
Train Reporting (VTR) sytem will commence on the Texas Division.

VTR is a system, which enables a conductor to directly access the BNSF
computer system by radio or telephone in order to report Train Arrivals,
Departures, Setouts, and Pickups.

All trains except Locals, Road Switchers, Yard Jobs and Work Trains
will be required to use the VTR system. Conductors will use this
system in lieu of calling or faxing work to a Service Support
Representative to report Train Arrivals, Departures, Setouts and
Pickups both enroute and at the conclusion of their trip.

At this time only the MRAS system is available for radio reporting.
Use of MRAS does not relieve a train crew from the requirement to
monitor the dispatcher's radio frequency. An information card with
channels for MRAS radios on the division will be available at the
on-duty points.

Any telephone can be used. When using a telephone on a train be
governed by Rules 1.10 as amended by System General Order No. 8.

In order to use this system, a conductor is required to register his
or her voice with the system prior to their first use of the system.

Initially, personnel from the Network Support System (NSS) will be on
hand to assist and help educate train crews on the proper use of the
VTR system. The initial roll out on the Texas Division will be at
Alliance, Fort Worth North Yard and Gainesville. October 20, 2003
the implementation will be at Arkansas City, Amarillo, Oklahoma City,
Wichita Falls and Temple.

Instructions on registration and system use will be available at on-
duty points. The phone number for registration and to use the system
is (company line) 593-7670 or bell line (817) 593-7670.

SUBDIVISION: All

*************************************************************************
Explanation:
Software is now available in TSSCREW that will allow TY&E
employees to make displacements to permanent positions as well
as temporary positions where applicable, with the use of the
mainframe system or VRU, and without agent assistance.  The
following is an explanation of how to access and use the software.
The software will only work for you if you have a valid displacement,
have accepted notification, are not in a lay off status and are not
on duty.

This software is designed to make seniority decisions based
on the seniority roster of the job incumbent and/or the position.
Many different rosters govern positions protected by TY&E
employees, only one of which an individual must possess to
occupy.
*************************************************************************

Effective 1000 on Wednesday, October 15, 2003 the handling
of TY&E displacements, both temporary and permanent, will be the
responsibility of TYE employees to handle either electronically
though TSS or through the Voice Response Unit (VRU).

In the event there are software difficulties with displacing directly
in TSS, or by using the VRU, the VRU will be updated with an
option to contact an agent who can help with the displacement.
From the VRU main menu, pressing option 8, then choosing the
last option will connect you to a support staff that will assist in
making your displacement.  The agent will only be able to assist
after an attempt to use the software has been made.  The Outbound
Crew Specialist (Crew Caller) will no longer handle displacements
made by TY&E employees.

These transactions will add to the list of transactions that TY&E
Employees are expected to perform electronically, either through
TSS or VRU.  Effective October 15, 2003, the following is an
updated list of transactions that must be handled with TSS or VRU
and should no longer be facilitated by a Outbound Crew Specialist

(@#206 Switch Tender Inst.
October 28, 2003
BNSF Railway Co.
TEXAS DIVISION

SYSTEM GENERAL NOTIC NO. 206

TO ALL CONCERNED,

SUBJECT: Switch Tender Instructions
SUBDIVISION: All

1. The train dispatcher and switch tender are required
   to have a job briefing before switch tender acts on
   instructions from the train dispatcher. Following a
   shift change, another briefing is required between the
   train dispatcher and switch tender, which will include
   discussion of pending instructions and determination if
   the instructions are still correct.

2. When communication involves approaching train
   movements, use engine initials and number and direction.
   Do not use only train symbols or blanket terms such as
   "westbound or eastbound trains."

3. The train dispatcher will issue specific instructions
   to the switch tender. The switch tender must repeat
   the instructions to the train dispatcher and receive
   confirmation of being correct, before acting on the
   instructions.
   For example: After confirming with the train dispatcher
   that BNSF 1234 West will be the next train to line from
   Main Track 1 to Main Track 2 at Robinson Spur, the switch
   tender is then to call the BNSF 1234 West and verify
   the train has authority from Main Track 1 to Main
   Track 2 at Robinson Spur. After verification has been
   received from the BNSF 1234 West, and after the switch
   tender has positively identified and verified the BNSF
   1234 is closely approaching the switch to be handled,
   the switch tender will line the route for the movement.
   After the movement is clear of the switch, the switch
   the switch must be lined and locked in the normal position.

4. The train dispatcher is responsible to communicate
   directly with the switch tender when necessary to
   change routing instructions after authority has been
   granted to a train. Another authority over the switch
   that the switch tender is in charge of cannot be issued
   until the train dispatcher has informed the switch
   tender of the change.

5. When a switch tender is at a remote location,
   away from a depot and/or base station radio, the
   switch tender must check with train dispatcher when
   arriving at such location to confirm they can clearly
   communicate.  If the switch tender becomes aware of
   any radio communication problems, the train dispatcher
   must be notified. The chief dispatcher will
   coordinate specific arrangements when communication
   problems are evident.

6. The switch tender must advise the train dispatcher
   before leaving the assigned location or ceasing to
   perform switch tender duties.  While in charge of a
   switch, the switch tender must not leave the switch
   unattended unless it is lined and locked for normal
   movement.

7. The train dispatcher's transfer must include switch
   tender location(s) and pending issued instructions
   from the train dispatcher to the switch tender.

ALL SIDINGS:
When trains are being tied up in sidings it is imperative that
all Private and Public crossings are cut according to GCOR 6.32.4.

GAINESVILLE:

Trains approaching Gainesville yard office and west switching lead on
the main track will sound whistle to warn people in the area of
approaching trains.

All Eastbound Trains, except AMTRAK, must contact the Dispatcher,
Gainesville Road Switcher, or Coordinator on channel 85, before
blocking any road crossings beginning with Cole Street located

Street until a proceed signal is received at Tower 55.

Trains departing Saginaw in the direction of Tower 55 will notify
Dispatch 22(DS22), who will contact the UPRR Terminal Train
Dispatcher(TTD). If the UPRR TTD indicates that the train will be
able to go directly through Tower 55, the train may proceed past
Peach Street to the tower. If the dispatcher indicates the train
will have to wait or be delayed at Tower 55, the train must stop
prior to reaching Peach Street and remain there until a proceed
indication is received from the UPRR TTD at Tower 55. While stopped
at Peach Street, trains will monitor UPRR Channel 78 for information
from the UPRR TTD(if a pakset is in possession, monitor Channel 36).
If no information is received from the UPRR TTD regarding when
you will be released to proceed toward Tower 55, contact the
UPRR TTD every 15 minutes until a time of release is received.

If unable to contact the UPRR TTD, contact DS 22 on Channel 36.

be released, and relay the information to the train.

OLD NORTH SIDING - SAGINAW

must be received from the Yardmaster on duty who is in charge of
Saginaw. When the Saginaw Yardmaster is not on duty the Yardmaster
at North Yard is reponsible.  Saginaw Yardmaster assignments listed
