 (Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employes PARTIES TO DISPUTE:

STATEMENT OF CLAIM: "Claim of the System Committee of the Brotherhood that:

 (1) The Carrier violated the Agreement when it used a B&B mechanic to perform chauffeur's work on the B&B gang headquartered at Port Covington (System File 8-MG-5298).

 (2) Because of the aforesaid violation, furloughed Chauffeur F. C. Campbell shall be compensated for all wage loss suffered beginning sixty (60) days retroactive from March 28, 1985 and continuing until the violation referred to in Part (1) here
FINDINGS:

 The Third Division of the Adjustment Board upon the whole record and all the evidence, finds that:

 The carrier or carriers and the employe or employees involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes 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.

This Claim is a similar to the claim involved in Third Division Award 27327. Both Claims are premised on a notion that the Agreement was violated when Carrier restructured forces in late 1984, and abolished certain positions and had work of the abolished positions performed by remaining personnel. As was the case concerning the Claim before us in Award 27327, Carrier here also raises a time limit defense. It argues that the incident upon which this matter is based w years prior to the filing date of the Claim. It seeks to have it dismissed under the provisions of Rule 16, contending that the Claim was filed out of time.

 In Award 27327 we dealt with the same basic issues as those here involved and dismissed that Cla of time. Nothing in this record persuades us that a different result is required here. The Claim will be dismissed.
