OPINION of BOARD: The issue presented herein involves the application

Agreement.

The blosites Construction Company entered into a contract with the State of Pennsylvania to repair a State highway bridge, located 250 feet above the tracks of the Carrier. The work of the contractor was in no way related to the operations of the Carrier, and there was no necessity for the construction company to have contact with the Carrier in order to perform under the contract t-rith the State.

                  Docket Number CL-21903


The Carrier urges that it utilized a trainman (flagman) to advise the Carrier if debris fell onto the tracks from the construction area. It is further asserted that the trainman used the telephone on occasion to determine if a train were approaching, so that he might be more vigilant. The Carrier denies that the use of the telephone was in any way related to the location of trains for the protection of the workmen or equipment of the construction company.

Third Division Award 21786 and the award in Docket No. 87 of Special Board of Adjustment No. 355 are both cited as authority for denial of the claim presented herein.
