STATEMENT "Claim of the General Committee of The Order of Railroad Teleg
 OF CLAIM: raphers on The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad Company
 that
 1. Carrier violated the provisions of the Telegraphers' Agree
 ment when it required or permitted the Yardmaster at Brayton
 Avenue, an employe outside the coverage of the Agreement, to per
 form communication service on February 20 and 25, 1959.
 2. Telegrapher J. J. Walsh, senior extra employe on the seniority
 district involved, shall be paid one day's pay (8 hours) at the
 appropriate rate, February 20 and 25, 1959 for work denied. In
 the event that Mr. Walsh shall be found to have been unavailable
 on either or both dates the claim shall be payable to the senior
 available extra employe."
 FINDINGS: On February 20, 1959 the yardmaster at Brayton Avenue yard of
 fice reported by telephone to the dispatcher at Boston that train
 BO-3 had a broken air hose on car PFE 63600 at Hebronville and
 made a change there. On February 25, 1959 that yardmaster re
 ported by telephone to the dispatcher that car NH 34044 was set
 out of train BO-3 with a hot box.
 While these communications are after the fact reports of rea
 sons for train delays, there is no evidence that such delays were
 otherwise reported to the dispatcher. Train delay reports are
 communications of record and, in the absence of any evidence of a
 contrary practice, must be deemed to be exclusively telegraphers
 work under the various awards of the Third Division, N.R.A.B.
 AWARD: Claim sustained.
