The rule as amended in October 1999 specifically addresses long haul trains and refers to conductors and assistant conductors only. TA&#039;s do not count toward the minimum requirement but only one AC is required, not two like a non-long haul train.<br /><br />10/27/99 Agreement (Pg 117 of the PDF)&nbsp; http://www.utu168.org/smf/index.php?topic=79.0 <br /><br />Rule 11 - Crew Consist (Off-Corridor)<br /><br />d. For long haul trains consisting of seven or more revenue passenger cars, the minimum crew will be a Passenger Conductor and one Assistant Passenger Conductor.<br /><br />e. The definition of a revenue passenger car is one in which seats or accommodations may be purchased by passengers, i.e., coaches, sleepers, and parlor or club cars. In addition, a baggage car that is scheduled to be worked by the train crew will be included in the passenger car count used in determining the minimum crew. Diners, lounges, cafes with no revenue seats, and deadhead passenger equipment will not be counted in determining the minimum crew requirement. The definition of a long haul train is a train that includes one or more sleeping cars.<br /><br />If you have a train and crew that meets that criteria you should be good.
