Issue (1): On January 31, 1980 the wrecking outfit and crew headquartered at Decoursey, Kentucky was called to a derailment at Oakdale, Tennessee. The wrecker/crew departed at 10:50 p.m. on that date and arrived at Oakdale at 9:00 a.m. on February 1, 1980. The derailment was cleared at 10:50 p.m. on that date and five (5) crew members (Thomas, Feldhaus, Tierney, Jameson and Rider) were directed to take a taxi back to Decoursey; they did so arriving at 2:15 a.m. on February 2, 1980 -- a Saturday. Carman Hunley -- the remaining member of the wrecking crew (who was acting wrecking engineer) -- was instructed to accompany the wrecking outfit back to Decoursey; he did so and arrived at either 3:30 (per the Carrier) or 4:30 p.m. (per the Organization) on that Saturday. Claims were made for Thomas, Feldhaus, Tierney and Jameson for the elapsed time between their arrival at Decoursey (2:15 a.m.) and that of the wrecking outfit and crew member (Hunley) at 4:30 p.m. Carman Rider was scheduled to work first shift on February 2, 1980 and thus the claim on his behalf was less - at six hours and 15 minutes.
Issue (2): A wrecking crew of somewhat different composition was dispatched with the Decoursey~wrecking outfit to a derailment at Yellowrock, Kentucky on February 3, 1980; it departed Decoursey at 2:30 a.m. and arrived Yellowrock at 9:15 a.m. The wrecking activities were complete by 6:30 p.m. on February 4, 1980 at which time the Claimants herein -- Carmen Stidham, Johnson, Barnett and Hopkins were instructed to return to Decoursey by taxi; they did so, arriving at 12:00 midnight and were relieved from duty. Carmen Feldhaus and Tierney returned to Decoursey with the wrecking outfit, arriving at 7:00 a.m. on February 5, 1980. Claims were initiated on behalf of crew members Stidham, Johnson and Barnett for the seven hours of time it took the wrecking outfit and crew members Tierney and Feldhaus to return to Decoursey after their earlier arrival at midnight on February 4, 1980.

We find the fact situation here to be sufficiently similar to Awards 9749 and 9750 between these same parties before this same Board to conclude that the Award here should follow the same rationale: Rule 108 is properly interpreted to require compensation for the regularly assigned members of the wrecking teams to be compensated for the time they were not permitted to accompany the wrecking outfit on its return to Decoursey.

Claims are affirmed as set out in the Opinion; see Award 9749 and Award 9750 for a fuller development of the rationale applicable to this case.
