 Statement
 of Claim: (1) Carrier violated the Agreement when on January 28, 29,
 30 and 31, 1985 and on February 20, 25, 26, 27 and 28, 1985,
 Section Gangs 5358, 5356, 5348 and 5349 in the Little Rock
 Terminal, laid rail using equipment assigned to the System
 Rail Gang 6801, working eight hours each day during periods
 of time when employees of the System Rail Gang were off on
 rest days.

        (2) Therefore, each of the following Claimants listed below should now be allowed 32 hours overtime compensation at the rate in effect in January, 1985, and also 40 hours overtime compensation at the rate in effect in February of 1985: Trackman J. H. Powell, Machine Operator J. W. Hinton, Foreman L. B. Blunt, Trackman D. R. Lee, Mechanic B. P. Brooks, Trackman K. McDaniel, Trackman C. P. Back, Trackman P. H. Pickins, Trackman G. DeCourlry, Trackman R. L0. Burks.


Findings: This Board has jurisdiction by reason of the Parties
 Agreement of January 5, 1959.
 This is the first of two cases, i.e., Nos. 259 and 262,
 arising from similar facts and involves Division and System
 Gangs.
 Carrier in November 1984 implemented a track project to
 rebuild portions of the North Little Rock Terminal.
 Division Section Gangs 5348, 5349, 5358 and 5366 began
 laying,rail in November 1984. In January 1985 System Rail
 Gang 6801 was brought in to supplement the Division forces
 and worked until completion of the project in April 1985.
 The record shows that such joint use was consistent with the
 historical practice. Also, there were projects completed by
 district without assistance from System Rail Gang.
 System Rail Gangs work consecutive days during a month
 and accumulate their rest or days off, which are then
 taken at the end of the month. Whereas the Division
 Section Gangs work a normal five (5) day work week with two
 (2) days off each week. During the period of claims members
 of the System Rail Gang were off on their rest days, i.e.,
 Award No. 259

 January 28, 29, 30 and 31 and February 20, 25, 26, 27 and 28, 1985. During such rest day periods the Division Gangs involved worked their normal work cycle and continued laying rail. Also, during said periods of System Gangs rest days Section Gangs 5348, 5349, 5356 and 5358 used the Speed Swing 53-29, assigned to System Rail Gang 6801, because their Speed Switch had broken down and was in for repair.

 The instant claims are on behalf of certain members of System Rail Gang 6801. They allege a violation of Rule 2Seniority Rights and Rule 14 Section 1(J) - Work Week asserting that they should have been notified previous to taking their rest days and permitted to work overtime.

 The facts of record when applied to the rules cited causes the Board to find no violation of the Agreement rules. There is no rule of delineation or exclusivity. The District or Division forces were merely performing rail laying work of employees which can and is performed by System or Division forces including use of Speed Swing 5329. It is noted that no claims were filed on behalf of the Division Section Forces who were off on their rest days, when the System Gang merely laid rail on such days. The instant claims will be denied as being without merit.

 Award: Claims denied.
