FINDINGS: The Second Division of the Adjustment Board, upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

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.

applicable to the present claim. No valid reason appears for reaching a different result in this case and the claim will be denied.
