e- Special permission must be obtained from the Railway before moving heavy or cumbersome objects or equipment which might result in making the track impassable.

f- Flagging services will be performed by qualified Railway flaggers.

The estimated cost for each flagger includes vacation allowance, paid holidays, Railway and unemployment insurance, public liability and property damage insurance, health and welfare benefits, transportation, meals, lodging and supervision. Negotiations for Railway labor or collective bargaining agreements and rate changes authorized by appropriate Federal authorities may increase actual or estimated flagging rates.
