                STATEMENT OF CLAai: Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood (GL-8799) that:


1. Carrier violated the Agreement between the parties rhea on the dates and times indicated below they required former Virginian Railway Company train and engine service employee going oft duty at Victoria, Virginia during the hours the office at that location was closed to notify the Chief (filler via telephone, thereby Wing their arrival an& relieving times.

 2. As a consequence of the above-stated violatioa(s) Carrier shall now be required to compensate the senior qualified idle or otherwise first out qualified available Extra Board employs assigned to the ND-3 Extra Board at Crewe, Virginia for eight (8) hours at the applicable overtime rate of pay for each violation stated in the original claim, said violation being multiple on each day, for May 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, June 1, 2, 3, 4s 5, 6s 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20, 1978.

 OPINION OF BOARD: The instant case involves an allegation by the Organization
 that the act of requiring train crews that go off duty at
 Victoria, Virginia to call. the.thief Caller at Crewe, Virginia and notify hiss
 of their arrival and off-duty time at Victoria is an OS and violates the parties'
 agreement. By Special Agreement with certain train sad engine crews, Victoria,
 Virginia remains the home terminal of certain train sad angina crews even
 though they operate their trains only as far se Crewe, Virginia. Thane emp
 ployes, after leaving their train at Crewe, travel iram Crewe to Victoria by
 taxi-cab. Upon their arrival at Victoria they are required by telephone to
 notify the Chief (leper at Crewe of their.arrival and off-duty time. We do
 not think under the circumstances of thin case., that a phone call from a
 member of a train crew to a Chief Caller, notifying the Chief Caller that he
 has arrived at his home terminal by teal-cab, rises to a level of as 0.S. The
 claim x111 be denied.
