V. EXTRA BOARDS.


A. The following extra boards may be established to protect vacancies and other extra board work in or out of the Salt Lake City/Ogden metro complex or in the vicinity thereof:

1 . Ogden: One conductor and one brakeman/switchmen (total of two) extra boards to protect the Ogden-Green River Pool, and the Ogden-Elko Pool (if pools are operated separately), the Ogden yard assignments and all road switchers, locals and work trains between Ogden-Green River, Clearfield-McCammon and Ogden-Elko.

2. Salt Lake North: One conductor and one brakeman/switchmen (total of two) extra boards to protect the Salt Lake-Pocatello/Green River Pool, the Salt Lake-Elko pool, all Salt Lake Yard assignments and all road switchers, locals and work trains between Salt Lake to Wendover and Salt Lake to Clearfield except work trains may work all the way to Ogden

Note: If the Carrier operates Metro Complex pools to Pocatello/Green River and Elko then the above extra boards will convert to two sets of extra boards with one set covering east pool freight and one covering west pool freight. The east extra boards will also cover all road switcher, locals, yard assignments and work trains at or between Salt Lake and Pocatello/Green River/Ogden with the west extra board covering these assignments between Ogden/Salt Lake and Elko.

3. Salt Lake South: One conductor/brakeman extra board to protect Salt Lake -Milford/H61per/Grand Junction/Provo pool(s) and all road switcher local and work train assignments in this area.

Note: The Carrier may operate more than these extra boards in the Salt Lake Metro complex. When more than these extra boards are operated the Carrier shall notify the General Chairman what area each extra board shall cover. When combining extra boards the Carrier shall give ten (10) days written notice.

B. The Carrier may establish or keep extra boards at points such as Milford, Provo, Helper, Elko, Las Vegas etc to meet the needs of service pursuant to the designated collective bargaining agreement provisions. If there are less than three yard assignments at any of these locations then the extra boards shall be conductor/brakemen/switchmen boards. If at least three yard assignments then the extra boards shall be separated into a conductor board and a brakemen/switchmen board.

C. At any location where both UP and SP/DRGW extra boards exist the Carrier may combine these boards into one board.

D. The Ogden and Salt Lake extra boards shall be filled off the dovetail roster.  Extra Boards in prior right areas such as Milford, Las Vegas and Helper shall be filled using prior rights. Extra boards at the dual locations of Provo and Elko shall be filled on a 50/50 basis. At Grand Junction the extra board will be a combination east-west board.
