Dispute: Claim of Dnployes:
(Burlington Northern, Inc.
1. That the Burlington Northern, Inc. violated Rule 30 of our Current Agreement when they assigned other than carmen to couple air hoses, administer mechanical inspection and test air brakes on interchange trains made up at their Rice's Point Yard in Duluth and delivered to the D.M. & I .R. Railroad at Endion Station.
2. That accordingly, the Burlington Northern, Inc. compensate Superior Cayman Jack Feran, Gerald FZatt and Ben Ostroviak in the amount of four (4) hours at the straight time rate for the following dates: December 13, 17, 18, 19, 21, 26, 27, 28, 31, 1979 and January 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29, 30 and 31, 1980.
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.


The Organization in the instant case contends that Carrier allows Switchmen to do the work of Carmen at the Rice Point Yard in Duluth when cars are being delivered to the D.M.&I.R. at FJndion Station. Carrier does not deny that it allowed the yard crew to couple air hoses and make air brake tests as needed. Carrier contends, however, that the car movements involved here are yard movements and not train depatures from a departure yard or terminal.
A review of the record before us persuades this Board that the movements in question were yard movements and that, as such, we look to Second Division Award 6671 (Referee Lieberman) for guidance. We denied that claim. Our reasoning in that claim, as well as in numerous other claims cited therein, is applicable in this case.
