Our Ranges Sheets are summaries of Each Run in Run_# order and lists the 
report time / Pull-Out / Relief,  TRAIN,  Relief / Pull-In - if this is 
not an 8-10--Hour straight through run then there is a split and same 
will be listed for the second half of the run.       Because an Operator 
/ Driver can sign on a  BLOCK  of Runs for his five-day work schedule 
and because these are labeled as Block_1, Block_2 etc, a distinction is 
needed to identify the paddle schedule so the old Tried and True term 
of  TRAIN  is still used.

Will have to look at the final cut of the rotation sheets to see what is 
used there.
