NOTE 1: The Walla Walla extra board will perform hours-of-service relief (dogcatching) on territory comprising the former Oregon 4^th Seniority District unless there is already a hours-of-service relief (dogcatch) crew (from the Hinkle road extra board) on duty and available with time remaining to perform the work.

NOTE 2: If the first hours-of-service relief (dogcatch) is to be performed in the territory comprising the former Oregon 4^th Seniority District, the Walla Walla extra board will be used.

The Hinkle Road extra board will continue to protect Zone 2 service and vacancies on assignments working to/from the coal power utility plant located near Castle, as it presently does.
