[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] "Split shifts" are quite commonplace in railroad, freight and passenger, service, Ms. Floridian. The Hours of Service Law permits such provided the break in service ("respite" in real railroadese) is not less than four hours and "suitable lodging" is provided for the break. In which case, the "respite" is a "time-out'; allowing the statutory "twelve hours" of service to be considerably extended. Example: an Engineer reports for duty a 6AM; he operates a train until 1130A at which time he is directed to go off duty (and provided "suitable lodging") and return to duty at 4PM. He then operates a train until 9PM. Overall time on duty 15hours, less 4.5hr 'respite'. Time 'at the throttle' 10.5hr, or "legal" under Hours of Service. [/QB][/QUOTE]
