  1. Computation—Bogie wagons will be charged at twice the rate for four-wheeled wagons.

  2. Tarpaulins

  3. (a) Charges—If Railway tarpaulins are supplied for goods conveyed at the rates for classes F, K, M, N, Q, R, or under sections 75, 76, 81, 83, or 90 the following rates will apply—

When tarpaulins are provided to cover such goods from one consignor to various consignees, or from various consignors to one or several consignees, the consignor who requires the goods to be covered will be called upon to pay the charges for the tarpaulin.

When such goods are loaded in the same wagon with goods of classes C, D, E, G, or H, all tarpaulins in excess of one per wagon will be charged for.

(b) Labour—The Department does not undertake to provide labour for covering goods of Classes F, K, M, N, Q, or R, or goods conveyed under the provisions of sections 75, 76, 81, 82, 83, or 90 nor will it accept responsibility in respect of such goods on account of their not being covered by tarpaulins—

If covering of such goods is performed by the Department, a labour charge of 45c per tarpaulin will be made, whether such goods are loaded by owners or the Department.

  1. Demurrage—For demurrage on tarpaulins refer to section 103.

  2. Damage to Tarpaulins—Consignors who undertake the covering of any goods shall make good all damage to tarpaulins arising from such goods being insufficiently or negligently covered, secured, or protected.

  3. Weighing

  4. The consignor shall declare the weight of traffic handed to the Department for transport. If, however, the weight is not declared, and it is necessary for the Department to weigh the traffic for the purpose of calculating the railage charges, a charge may be made for weighing at the rates set forth hereunder. No charge, however, will be made for weighing wagons of goods of Classes E, F, N, or Q, for the purpose of computing railage charges unless the consignor or consignee requests a weight certificate. No charge will be made for weighing Class R goods.
