Ask your UTU or BLET rep for one. Or the one I and alot of other guys use is the Daily Time Record.

I watched as newbies used their cellphone for keeping time. Thank goodness some railroads still require wearing watches. I'm glad the FRA banned cellphone use. Some traditions should never end because they have a purpose.COEN77 wrote:Useless paper timebooks? There's nothing more dependable then a paper trail.

tundraboomer wrote:CSX does the same on denying claims. Most claims are gone these days that happened with on-property contract negotiations. Before that happened CSX made it a point to divide the generations where some claims weren't allowed if hired after such & such a date. Not sure if UP went there, yet. The only thing still under the national contract for CSX is healthcare. Like you I kept all my printouts for the half as a record. Like I stated in my post once off the train electronic devices aren't an issue even in the crew room.

As far as using electronic devices, I only fill out my timeslip and book at my end-duty point, after I get off the train. I don't give the company any free time by filling post-trip paperwork out while I'm still on the engine. If I'm sitting at a desk or table in the break room or register room, using an electronic device is a non-issue.
