1. Conductors and brakemen may exercise their seniority rights from one class of train service to another as provided by this agreement.
2.  Promoted men who are working as regular brakemen or on the conductor’s extra board and who desire to be placed on a regular pool freight turn as conductor in their seniority order, must have on file a written application in the crew clerk’s office five (5) days in advance of the assigning of a new turn or the filling of a permanent vacancy before being placed on such pool freight turn.  Promoted brakemen who do not have on file such written application will not be placed on a regular turn as conductor. 
3. In the event no applications are on file as provided in Section 2 above, the junior promoted conductor of the district will be assigned.

 5. Promoted brakemen who do not take a regular turn as conductor in pool freight service, in seniority order, may later take a regular turn in the pool as a conductor only when new turns are added or permanent vacancies occur provided they have had a written application on file for five days.
