Pete, that is correct and is from the April 13, 1949 lapback agreement.  Under 
the sub article 'Doubling hills account Excess tonnage" , Paragraph 2 payment 
of 100 miles is due when "a crew is required to pick up additional tonnage 
which is in excess of the tonnage that can be moved in their train from the 
point at which picked up, to the next station in a single trip or straightaway 
movement."  Galesburg Division crews had claims for picking up southbound at 
Barstow and picking up northbound at W. Quincy.  The Barstow move soon was 
reduced to 25 miles after the house track was removed at Warner and company 
officers used the argument that neither Briar Bluff or Warner qualified under 
the definition of a station under this agreement as there was no revenue 
service performed there after the house track was removed.  Bud Linroth.

Seems like in the corners of my memory there was a provision that if you picked 
up at the last station it was worth 100 miles if you doubled and something less 
if you hadn't picked up??? 

Since we are "dabbling in nostalgia" here anybody qualified to enlighten us on 
this provision in the schedule????   If indeed there was such a provision or 
just a "figment of my imagination and memory"    I have recently been telling 
people that "my memory is so good now that I can even remember things that 
never happened"

But I'll bet there was a 25 mile/time or miles arbitrary for "hill doubling 
account excess tonnage" there :>)  There used to be a lot of money in doubling 
your trains out of a mine after you'd ripped a drawbar out trying to get them 
up some of those hills.
