 Parties to said dispute waived right of appearance at hearing thereon.
 The Organization claims payment for five wrecking crew members who were
 not allowed to accompany the wrecking outfit back to the yard, pursuarl; to a
 Memorandum Agreement effective September 1, 1963. This Agreement stated that in the
 application of Article 51 of the current Agreement between tie parties, the provisions
 of the 1963 Agreement shall apply. It further stated that the 1953 aqreement became
 necessary when the Carrier acquired a diesel powered derrick to be used in wrecking
 service. Most important, the new Agreement stated, "This Memorandum of Agreement
 is adopted to provide an understanding between the parties as to how the wrecking
 crews will be established and paid, when used."

 Since this claim grew out of the use of the wrecking outfit for a company other than the carrier herein, that part of the Agreement is worth quoting as follows: "If the wrecker-derrick and crew are used in the sert·ices of a chmpany other than the A lton and Southern Railroad, a sufficient number of the wrecking crew will accompany the outfit to the scene of the wreck and its return to home station."

 There is nothing ambiguous about the quoted provision. This case falls squarely into the sitli.ation that this new agreement was intended to cover: It was foreign service and the wrecking crew was to be with the wrecking outfit going to the scene of the wreck and on returning to the home station, Second Division Awards No. 4972, 5678, 5784.
The Carrier member has referred to Second Division Awards No. 5545 and 6323. In the first Award referred to, the Rule which was interpreted did not require the crew to accompany the wrecking outfit and past practice favored the Carrier. In the second Award referred to, the Rule quoted is nou the sp_n-. e'as the 1963 Agreement in the present case nor does it cover the foreign service provided for in this M"orsndt~!.
provisions, to provide how the wrecking crews will be paid: "--~rhile in such
 foreign servide,,th? crew will be paid from the time they leave home station until
 return for all time worked in accordance with existing rules, and will be straight
 time rates for all stra3_ht time hours and overtLne rates for all overtime hours,
 including all t;me ws.i tang and traveling." "If durirT t':e time on the roed, not
 including waiting and traveling time, the crew is relieved frems duty and permitted
 to go to bed for five or more hours, such relief time will not be paid for;
 provided that in no case shall they be paid for a tctal of less than eight hours
 each calcndp.r day."

 According to our finding above, the crew should have remained with the wrecking outfit (accompanied it) from 5:00 A.M. on December 19, until 2:00 P.M. on December 21. According to Ibxle 4 (f) and (g) of the current Agreement betl·een the parties, service beyond 16 hours cvaputed.from the starting time of the employe's regular shit shall be paid for at the rate of double time. Also, em, loye required to render service beyond 24 hours computed from the starting time cf his regular shift, shall continue at double time.

 2-A80 -CM-'72
 The starting time of two members of the wrecking crew for their regular
 sh was 7:00 A.M. on December 19. Their work was completed at 4:30 P.M. at the
 wreck and 9:00 P.M. at the yard, on the same day. Therefore, these members of the
 crew did not complete service beyond. sixteen hours. Rule 4 (f) and (g) providing
 for double time did not apply to them. Similarly, the wrecking crew member whose
 shift was 3 P.M. - 11 P.M. would not be entitled to double time. Two crew members
 started their regular shift at 11:58 P.M. and finished. at 7:58 A.M. The record
 is not clear on this so we assume that when these two crew members accompanied the
 wrecking outfit at 5:00 A.M. on December 19, they had not completed their regular
 shift but had worked. five hours. As a result, they would have completed a total of
 sixteen and one half hours at the wreck and 21 hours at the yard. Under rule 4(f)
 they would be entitled to five hours at double time minus straight time for the travel
 time to the yard, which is not in the record.

 Second Division Award No. 6133 provides the reasoning to be applied to the balance of the tine from 4:30 P.M. on December 19, up to 2:00 P.M. on December 21. It follows, from that Award that the terminal points for the road emergency service covered. by the Memorandum of Agreement would be the time of leaving from and the time of returning to the home point. Relief time is granted, "only for the purpose . of granting rest to fit the employe for continuation of the tasks ahead." The only purpose for waiting from 4:30 P.M. on December 19, would have been to accompany the wrecking outfit on its return to the home point. No rest would. have been required Therefore, all the waiting and traveling time after 4:30.P.M. on December 19 to ?,'00 P.M. on December 21, wrnuld be paid time. Award No. 4972.submitted to support meaning of "accompany", also stated that the tL-ie not worked should be at the pro rata rate. We agree, and interpret the Memorandum of Agreement to mean overtime x<: > to be applied only, for all time worked., although payment is to be made for u11 time while accompanying the wrecking outfit, including waiting and travel time.

 Since no penalty payment is intended, nor is it provided for or claimed, the Carrier is entitled. to take credit for any payments made to these employes duriiug the period from 5:00 A.M. December 19 to 2:00 P.M. December 21, in order to avoid. paying twice for the sane hoixrs.

        Claim ;;o. 1 is sustained, Claim No. 2 is disposed of according to the above J. :U7,~ in-'s .
