 The facts involved in this matter are not in dispute. The Carrier directed two Southern Railway Company Signal employees to load, haul and unload insulated joints from Americus to a signal location at Mile Post J-296.2. Americus and the signal location are on Central of Georgia Railroad property. Central of Georgia was acquired by Southern, although each Carrier maintains its identity and collective bargaining agreements.

 Contrary to the organization's view, numerous previous Awards have determined that this task of transporting signal material is not reserved by the applicable Scope Rule. Third Division Award 13708, involving the same parties, stated as follows:

 "We find that the transporting of signal material to the job site, as described herein, is not work exclusively belonging to Signalmen. The Scope Rule of the Signal Agreement does not specifically mention the transporting of signal materials to job sites, as that work reserved to the Signalmen. It is apparent from the record, materials have been picked up and delivered to job sites by other Crafts or Classes. Transporting or delivery is not 'any other work generally recognized as signal work,' or has the Organization shown that Signalmen have performed such work to the exclusion of others."

 More recently, Third Division Award 21625 concluded:

 "On the day in question, Carrier utilized the services of an individual not covered by this organization's agreement to transport certain signal mechanism.

 We have considered the facts of record and the contentions of the parties; and we have reviewed Third Division Awards 10613 and (particularly) L2188, which resolved disputes between these parties. It is our conclusion that the Awards cited above are precedent to this case and, accordingly, we will deny the claim."

 In this instance, the Carrier utilized Signalmen, although from another seniority district. This, however, does not make the conclusion established in precedent Awards less applicable.
