This chapter sets the highest number of hours an employee may work that still keeps them safe. Railroads and employees can bargain for shorter hours or less time on duty.

The number of duty hours set by this chapter is the most an employee can safely work -- it's a maximum, not a target. Railroads and their employees can still negotiate shorter hours and less duty time. These shorter hours are a proper topic for collective bargaining between the railroad and its workers.
