 OPINION
 Or BOARD: The instant dispute parallels the one submitted in Care No.
 CL-34-E and arose out of the coordination of facilitio s butueon
 Erie Railroad and Delaware, Lackawanna and western naiir:nd
 Company. Inasmuch as we carefully analyzed the arguments of
 the parties in CL--3' -E, we are adhering to our conclusions reached in Award No.
 187, decide on Janunry 19, 1970.

 We would further note that despite the or;^ni-zation's contention thOt C1 :ire-nt, E. E· na^ki, was first affected on Decerber 14, 1958, the date his y"sition of Forty; ter was abolished, we find this stnne=nt to be
inaccura:^. In Oryani;:..^riun s li;uhihit A, , a lener dared January 14, 1961,
