Dear Sir:

This refers to your letter of November 17, 1975 requesting our concurrence in the following:
"When a yardman is forced out of the yard to protect a regular conductor's job in road service when he is cut from conductor's job or by a schedule agreement he no longer holds a conductor's job, he will be allowed the option of staying on road roster, seniority permitting, as a brakeman, or returning to yard roster."
We have no objection to this with the added proviso that if such employe exercises this option and remains in road service, such employe will remain in road service for a period of four months unless road rights are exhausted prior to that time.
This Agreement is effective February 1, 1976 and will remain in effect subject to termination by either party by the serving of a ten-day written notice on the other party.

Yours truly,
/s/ J. H. Kenny ACCEPTED:
