DEMURRAGE RULES.

APPLICABLE

NATIONAL CAR DEMURRAGE RULES AND CHARGES.

TO INTRASTATE TRAFFIC IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

RULE 1. Cars Subject to Rules.

Note. The disposition at point of detention determines the purpose for which a car is held and the rule applicable thereto, except where there is specific tariff provisions to the contrary.

SECTION A.-Cars of either railroad or private ownership, held for or by consignors or consignees for loading, unloading, forwarding directions or for any other purpose (including cars held for loading company material unless the loading is done by the railroad for which the material is intended and on its tracks) are subject to these demurrage rules, except as provided in Section B.

SECTION B.-The following cars are not subject to these demurrage rules:

1. Cars under load with company material for use of and

consigned to the railrorad in whose possession the cars are held. 2. Cars under load with live stock. This exemption does not include cars held for or by shippers for loading live stock. Live poultry will not be considered as live stock.

3. (a) Private cars on private tracks when the ownership of the car and track is the same.

Note.-Private cars while held under constructive placement for delivery upon the tracks of their owners are subject to demurrage charges after expiration of forty-eight hours' free time. (See Rules 5 and 9.)

DEFINITIONS.

Private Car.-A car having other than railroad ownership. A lease of a car is equivalent to ownership. Private cars must have the full name of the owner or lessee painted or stenciled thereon or must be boarded with full name of owner or lessee. If name of lessee is painted, stenciled or boarded on car then the car is exempt from demurrage for the lessee only. If name of lessee is not painted, stenciled on boarded on car, then the car is exempt from demurrage for the owner only.

Private Track.-A track outside of carrier's right of way, yard, and terminals, and of which the carrier does not own either the rails, ties, roadbed, or right of way; or a track or a portion of a track which is devoted to the purpose of its user either by lease or written agreement.

(b) Empty private cars stored on railroad or private tracks, including such cars sent by the owner to a shipper for loading, provided the cars have not been placed or tendered for loading on the orders of a shipper. (See Rule 6, Section D.)

RULE 2. Free Time Allowed.

SECTION A.-Forty-eight hours' (two days) free time will be allowed for loading or unloading all commodities. (See Rule 2, Section B, Paragraph 4.)

"LOADING" includes the furnishing of forwarding directions on outbound cars.

"UNLOADING" includes:

(a) Surrender of bill of lading on shipments billed "to order." (b) Payment of lawful freight charges when required prior to delivery of the car.

(c) Furnishing of a "turn-over" order (an order for delivery to another party) after car has been placed for delivery and no additional movement of the car is made.

When the same car is both unloaded and reloaded, each transaction will be treated as independent of the other. This will also apply to industries performing their own switching service, in which case the industry must notify the carrier date and time car was unloaded.

When a car held for loading or unloading is moved by railroad or private power to another point in the same yard or industry to complete loading or unloading, only forty-eight hours' free time will be allowed, except that when the railroad makes a charge for such movement the time incident thereto shall not be computed against the car.

(See Rule 7, Note 2.)

Note. If a consignee wishes has car held at any break-up yard or a hold yard before notification and placement, such car will be subject to demurrage. That is to say, the time held in the break-up yard will be inIcluded within the 48 hours of free time. If he wishes to exempt his car from the imposition of demurrage he must either, by general orders given to the carrier or by specific orders as to incoming freight, notify the carrior of the track upon which he wishes his freight placed, in which event he will have the full 48 hours free time from the time when the placement is made upon the track designated. This "Note" will apply except when in conflict with Rule 2, Section B, Paragraph 1.

SECTION B.-Twenty-four hours' (one day) free time will be allowed:

1. When cars are held for reconsignment, diversion or reshipment, or held in transit on order of consignor, consignee or owner.

Note. This will not apply to cars subject to Rule 2, Section B, Paragraph 3.

The term "diversion" or "reconsignment" will be applied as defined in the reconsignment tariffs of this railroad, except that under this rule when a car is placed for delivery at destination a "turnover" (or order for delivery to another party) which does not involve an additional movement of the car is not a reconsignment. (See Rule 2, Section A.)

A reshipment is the making of a new contract by which under a new rate the original lading, without being unloaded, is forwarded in the same car to another destination.

2. When cars, destined for delivery to or for forwarding by a connecting line, are held under tariff regulations for surrender of bill of lading or payment of lawful freight charges.

3. When cars are held in transit and placed for inspection or grading, including reconsignment or other disposition orders. At stations where grain and hay must be inspected or graded, the consignee agreeing with the carrier in writing for file at the station, to accept the bulletining of the cars as due and adequate notice of arrival, the bulletins must be posted by 9:00 a. m. of each day, showing the previous twenty-four (24) hours' receipts, and the free time (twenty-four hours) is to be calculated from the first 7:00 a. m. thereafter where there is no agreement for bulletining of cars, the free time must be calculated from the first

7:00 a. m. after the day on which notice of arrival is sent or given to the consignee.

4. Except as otherwise provided in Rule 2, Section A, when cars are held to complete loading, or to partly unload.

Note.-When a car held for unloading is partly unloaded and partly reloaded, 48 hours' free time will be allowed for the entire transaction.

5. On cars containing freight in bond for Customs entry and Government inspection.

SECTION C.-Cars containing freight for transhipment to vessel will be allowed such free time at the port as may be provided in the tariffs of the individual carriers lawfully on file with the Interstate Commerrce Commission.

RULE 3. Computing Time.

Note.-In computing time, Sundays and legal holidays (National, State, and Municipal), but not half holidays, will be excluded, except as otherwise provided in Section A of Rule 9. When a legal holiday falls on Sunday the following Monday will be excluded.

SECTION A.-On cars held for loading, time will be computed from the first 7:00 a. m. after placement on public-delivery tracks and without notice of placement, but if not placed within 24 hours after 7:00 a. m. of the day for which ordered, time will be computed from 7:00 a. m. after the day on which notice of placement is sent or given to consignor. (See Rule 6-Cars for Loading.)

SECTION B.-1. On cars held for orders, surrender of bill of lading or payment of freight charges, whether such cars have been placed in position to unload or not, time will be computed from the first 7:00 a. m. after the day on which notice of arrival is sent or given to the consignee or party entitled to receive same. (See Rule 4-Notification.)

Note. The time between receipt of order and placement of car (not to include the time attributable to the act or neglect of consignor or consignee) will be deducted from the total detention to the car.

2. Orders for disposition or reconsignment, when mailed, wired or otherwise transmitted by the reconsignor to agent of the carrier at point where cars are held, or to the agent of any carrier named in the bill of lading contract or participating in the transportation transaction, unless otherwise provided by tariff, will release cars at 7:00 a. m. of the date such orders are received by any such agent, provided they are sent or given prior to the date received.

Such orders mailed, wired or otherwise transmitted and received the same date, will release cars at the hour the orders are received by any such agent.

Date of mailing to be determined by the postmark.

Note. When order releasing a car is sent to this railroad by U. S. mail and the order is not received by the addressee, the car shall be considered released as of the date the order should have been delivered, provided proof is furnished by the claimant that the order was deposited in the U. S. mail properly stamped and addressed on, the date claimed.

SECTION C.-1. On cars held for unloading, except as otherwise provided in Section B, Paragraph 1, of this rule, time will be computed from the first 7:00 a. m. after placement on public delivery tracks, and after the day on which notice of arrival is sent or given to consignee or party entitled to receive same. If car is not placed within 24 hours after notice of arrival has been sent or given, time will be computed from the first 7:00 a. m. after the day on which notice of placement has been sent or given to the consignee or party entitled to receive same. (See Rule 4, Sections A and D.)

2. On cars subject to Rule 5, Section B, Paragraph 2, time will be computed from the first 7:00 a. m. after the day on which notice as required by Rule 5, Section B, Paragraph 1, is sent or given to the consignee or party entitled to receive same.

SECTION D.-On cars to be delivered on other-than-publicdelivery tracks, time will be computed from the first 7:00 a. m. after actual or constructive placement on such tracks. Time computed from actual placement on cars placed at exactly 7:00 a. m. will begin at the same 7:00 a. m.; actual placement to be determined by the precise time the engine cuts loose. (See Rule 4, Section C, and Rules 5 and 6.)

Note 1.-"Actual Placement" is made when a car is placed in an accessible position for loading or unloading or at a point previously designated by the consignor or consignee. If such placing is prevented from any cause attributable to consignor or consignee and car is placed on the private or other-than-public-delivery track serving the consignor or consignee, it shall be considered constructively placed, without notice.

Note 2. Any railroad track or portion thereof assigned for individual use will be treated as "other-than-public-delivery track."

SECTION E.-On cars to be delivered on interchange tracks of industrial plants performing the switching service for themselves or other parties, time will be computed from the first 7:00 a. m. after actual or constructive placement on such interchange tracks until return to the same or another interchange track. Time computed from the actual placement on cars placed
