 This Division of the Adjustment Board has jurisdiction over the dispute involved herein.

There are two elements of work involved in this Claim. One is the transporting of ties from a storage point to the point of use. The other is the use of a contractor's backhoe and operator to assist a crew working on a road crossing.

 This Board is of the view that transporting of Company material from one location to another is work which the Organization cannot claim is theirs under the Agreement. In Third Division Award 29252 the Board concluded that handling of Company material was work that all classes of Carrier employees performed over the years. Accordingly, that aspect of this Claim is denied.

This Claim, is a contemporary claim to that involved in Award 29253, the violation here occurred on occurring on November 11, 1987. Thus, the rationale in the last two paragraphs of the Findings in Aw
