 From my days in the call office as I recall the first out cab on the 
sheet was called for the run.  The next out cab was called to deadhead. 
   The deadhead cab would have been ahead of the working cab that would 
have been on the rear of the train.  The deadhead crew got paid but 
would not necessarily had to have 8 hours rest as the deadhead time 
could be considered part of their rest time. Since their rest time most 
likely was met by the time their cab reached destination that could be 
immediately called upon reaching destination.

Actually both answers are correct and both are wrong.
