Was this a "special" work rule at Gunnision? Because, it reads as tho the job that Braswell had covered was adviertised as both (2) branches (Castleton/Baldwin & Crested Butte). Interesting that he got a basic day for both. Did they make him "whole" if he only ran one branch? Or did he have to grin and bare it?

BTW, was did Gunnision have their own BLE Or BofLE&F locals, or were their under Salida or Grand Junction by that time?

Engineer Braswell was on the "board" at Gunnison and it was his home terminal at that time. He probably chose to place himself there. In that situation he was eligible to be called for any run (west bound) out of Gunnison; Cerro Summit/Montrose, Baldwin branch and Crested Butte branch. At this point, during the period being posted, it appears there were only 2 engineers on the Gunnison board.

As for the location of locals, I am not sure. My guess would be Grand Junction for engineers located at Gunnison and points in between.
