PARTIES TO DISPUTE: Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees

                                VS.

Burlington Northern Railroad Company
 STATEMENT OF CLAIM

 1. The Carrier violated the Agreement when it allowed furloughed Section Laborer L. Calhoun to perform snow removal work from 11:00 p.m., December 29, 1982 until 7:30 a.m., December 30, 1982, instead of permitting furloughed Section Laborer N. Bailey senior, available and willing to perform that service.

 2. As a consequence of the aforementioned violation,
 Claimant N. Bailey shall be allowed an additional four (4)
 hours of pay at the sectionman's straight time rate and four (4)
 hours of pay at the sectionman's time and one-half rate in
 effect on the claim date."
 OPINION OF BOARD: The relevant facts of this claim are not
 in dispute. Claimant was a Section Laborer in the Track and
 Sub-department of Carrier's Denver, Colorado facility. Claimant,
 N. Bailey held seniority as of September 7, 1978.
 The facts of this claim are similar to those set forth in P.B No. 4104, Case Nos. 16 and 17. We will not repeat them here. Suffice it to say that on December 23 and 24, 1902 a severe blizzard blanketed the Denver, Colorado area. Claimant, on furlough at the time, was called back to work on December 29 in order to aid in snow removal. After 4 hours of work Claimant was returned to furlough. However, junior sectionman Calhoun ' continued to work for 8 additional hours.

Case No. 21

 On January 6, 1983 the Organization filed the instant claim r
 alleging that Carrier~improperly permitted Mr. Calhoun to work
 8 hours longer than Claimant, despite the fact that Claimant had
 greater seniority, in violation of Rules 2 and 29. Carrier -
 timely denied this allegation. Thereafter, the claim was handled
 in the usual manner on the property. It is now before this Hoard
 · for adjudication.
 The Organization urges that as Claimant was the senior
 employee he should have. been permitted to perform the additional
 8 hours work rather than Mr.-Calhoun. Accordingly, the
 organization asks that the claim be sustained.
 Carrier, on the other hand, submits that due to the emergency
 weather conditions and the disparate locations of the two employees,
 it was not required to relocate Claimant in order that he complete -
 the work which Calhoun had been performing. Accordingly,Carrier
 asks that the claim be denied.
 After carefully considering the record evidence, this Board
 concludes that Claimant is entitled to compensation in the
 amount of $75. This sum is reasonable and warranted under
 the facts of this case. It is so awarded. Thus, the claim is
 sustained to this extent.
