You do not have to answer the phone if you are not first out. But if you do step up, your turn should continue up the board until it is called to go out of town. If the conductor on you turn, makes more money than you do, you are entitled to the difference. You will only be paid for overtime and tow-in, not held away or other arbitraries.
