[CBQ] Step off

[qutlx1@aol.com]

In times gone by we've talked about the "step off'" at Aurora depot for the  
"Northern and Mainline
Passenger pool trainmen" . This was codified in the local agreements as ok.  
There was another step off at Aurora in the frt. pool that was a very discreet 
 operation. Crews would head east out of Savanna in the middle of the night 
and  talk to each other in Savanna yard office and say" if we pass Aurora Depot 
 before 'x' .........  This would occur on Sat. and Sunday morning   when the 
first westbound dinky left CUS an hour later than the rest of the week  and 
then ran on a two hour gap the rest of the day.
 
What do you suppose the plan was ? Hint, it was very close to something  
that's authorized today in the rules and work agreements but back then it was  
frowned upon.
