UPRR Crew District Question
Author: PRR_4859

Good Evening:

What is the longest run for UP crews? How far west do they run Proviso?

Thank you in advance.

Don't know how often it happens but the Elko to Portola run plus the DH to Sparks used to be over 430.

I retired off of the Sparks-Elko pool which was 313 miles.  The highway mileage from Portola to Sparks is 60, means a Sparks crew working back via Portola earns 408 miles.

How many years of seniority does it take to hold that pool year around?

on these high mileage pools, can you "lay off on miles" without violating the attendance policy?

No, because we (former SP with TPA) deliberately kept the pool long because we couldn't make the guarantee.  3800 miles took five trips per month, with four days off between trips.
