CLAIMING MILES IN TIE-UP SCREEN

Buffalo to Binghamton Pool

212 miles – Based on a trip where train and/or power originates at CP-DRAW and terminates at CP-BD (MP SR 213) in Binghamton. This was determined using the following calculations:

* CP-DRAW to CP-PANAMA (via Bison Runner) -

419.9 – 424.7 equals 4.8 miles

* CP-PANAMA to CP-BD (Southern Tier Line)

419.9 – 213.2 equals 206.7 miles.

* TOTAL MILES = 211.5 Since the computer doesn't deal in

fractions, 212 should be claimed.

VARIABLES AT BINGHAMTON

* Kirkwood Yard, CP Rail - add 4 miles (216 miles)

Remember that while rubber tired miles don't count, miles run with light power does. Also, If you go beyond the terminal limits at Binghamton (CP-COLES, MP SR 210.9) you should claim the additional miles plus a penalty 'UA' day.

VARIABLES AT BUFFALO - Train Left/Received at:

* CP-Gravity Add 20 miles (232 miles)

* Union Road (Buffalo Line 6.5) – Subtract 18 miles (230 miles)

* CP-GJ – Add 16 miles (228 miles)

* Bailey Avenue (Ebenezer 2.8) – Add 8 miles (220 miles)

* Blasdell (NKP 6.5) – Add 7 miles (219 miles)

* Smokes Creek (NKP 5.7) - Add 8 miles (220 miles)

* Ridge Road (NKP 5.0) – - 7 miles (219 miles)

* FY (NKP 3.7) – Add 2 mile (214 miles)

As in any situation, if you go beyond the terminal limits; east of CP-Broadway, south of CP-Gravity, East of MP-428 (CSX-Chicago Line) and north of MP-14 (CSX-Niagara Branch), you have a penalty day coming.
