FINDINGS: The Second Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:
The carrier or carriers and the employe or employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employe within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.
This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.
This controversy concerns Carrier's use of a Northern Pacific Railway wrecking crew to rerail cars at Paterson, Washington, on January 24, 1964. Claimants are carmen regularly assigned to a wrecking crew at Vancouver, Washington, which lies 170 miles to the west of Paterson.
What we had to say in Award 5005, which passed upon the same basic issue, factual situation and agreement as are now before us, is equally applicable to the present claim. No valid reason appears for reaching a different result in this case and the claim will be denied.
