Home or Feeder Boards: One extra board on each seniority district shall be designated by the Superintendent and Local Chairman as the home or feeder extra board. In the event an extra board, other than the home board, is exhausted and it is necessary to bring extra men from the home board to meet the needs of the service, the required number of extra men first‑out on the home extra board will be deadheaded to the board where needed and will be worked first‑in first‑out as between themselves when no extra men assigned to such board are available.

No man laid off in reduction of force will forfeit rights by failure to place himself or an auxiliary extra board.
(h) Regular Men Reduced To Extra. List: When trainmen or yardmen are reduced to the extra list and their seniority wil1 not entitle them jurisdiction of regular road, or yard assignment within that extra board, they may exercise their seniority or any extra board on their seniority district where junior men are assigned or may displace a junior man assigned to a regular run, provided such displacement is made before accepting other service.
