 DISPUTE: Consolidated Rail Corporation

 STATEMENT OF CLAIM: Appal of I&R Inspector B. Rears III to
 have fifteen (15 days actual suspension removed.

 FINDING: In this dispute, the Carrier charged the Claimant, who
 was employed as a Pilot for an Electronic Tamper Machine, with
 failure to ensure that machinery under his direction was being
 handled properly. His primary duty at the time was to protect
 the machine's safety within the territory in which it was operating.

 Subsequent to an investigation, the Carrier, relying mainly upon the testimony adduced at the investigation; notified the Claimant that he had been found guilty and suspended him for fifteen (15) days.

 Our study of the transcript of the investigation indicates that there was ample evidence, including the Claimant's testimony, to support the Carrier's conclusions as to his guilt to the charge of not properly performing his duties. Accordingly, the Board, absent a finding of arbitrary or capricious conduct, has no basis to disturb the measure of discipline imposed.
