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 employes involved in this dispute are respectively carrier and employes within the meaning of the Railway Labor Act as approved June 21, 1934.

 The record indicates that on January 19, 1987, two electricians were assigned the task of attaching two railroad ties to a signal bungalow prior to the movement of the bungalow to its permanent location (for the purpose of housing signal batteries). The record also indicates that B 6 B forces have in the past accomplished tasks for the purpose of maintaining similar bungalows.

 The Organization asserts that the work in this dispute was of a
 character which has customarily, traditionally and historically been performed
 by & B employees. In addition it is argued that the permanent attachment of

Carrier takes the position that the work involved in this dispute is within the Organization's jurisdiction. Further Carrier asserts that there is no language in the Agreement to support the Organization's position. the contrary, Carrier maintians that electricians have normally performed the particular type of work involved herein.
 The Scope Rule in this Agreement has long been characterized as general in nature (see Award 19921- among many others). Further the Classification of Work Rule relied an by the Organization does not pe se reserve the work to the B & B employees (see Third Division Awards 26831, 27697, 27806 and others). Additionally, Third Division Award 12376 relied on by the Organization specifies that the disputed work in that case7had been performed historically and-customarily by the B 5 B forges. Unlike that circumstance in this dispute there is no evidence whatever to indicate that the particular task had been performed historically by B & B forces. In fact the Organization has failed to rebut Carrier's assertion that the task of attaching frames or skids to signal bungalows has normally been performed by electricians as part of their work. It must be concluded that the Organization has not presented convincing evidence or Rule support for this Claim. It must be denied.
