The mileage will be counted one way only.
When engine is ordered and not used, half the minimum charge will be made.
The charge will in no case be less than for the total number of passengers carried charged at fares computed at rate and a quarter of the ordinary fares.
Special trains will be permitted to wait five hours at the station of destination, after which period half special-train rates will be charged for the return journey until seven hours’ detention from time of arrival; after which full special-train rates will be charged for the return journey.
The distance which a train has to run empty to commence a service will be charged at the rate of 5s. per mile.
Special trains will be run only at the option of the Railway Department. The Department reserves to itself the right to forward any of its ordinary traffic by the special train, when such train is not loaded to its full capacity, but no reduction of the special-train rates shall be made on account of the train being so utilized by the Department.
