"(6)(4) When an employe is forced or exercises his/her road rights to transfer to another
prior road seniority district under Seniority Zone 200 due to being furloughed as a road
employe at their home point he/she may return to their home point, seniority permitting, an increase of the road extra board. If the employe fails to return to the home point at the first opportunity, he/she will be required to remain at the point to which transferred for a period of 120 days unless he/she is the senior applicant for a bulletined assignment on another prior seniority district. "


"(6)(5) Employs working in road service on one prior seniority district in Seniority Zone 200 may exercise seniority to road service on another prior seniority district in Seniority Zone
200 on the conditions that:

(1) They make written application to CMS (with copies to affected local chairpersons);

(2) The brakeman's extra board is being increased at the point to which they are
transferring; and

(3) Their seniority will permit them to work on the seniority district to which they

Such transfer shall be made effective as soon as possible, but in no event later than
seventeen (17) days from the date of application and/or from when the brakeman's extra
board is increased. Roadmen not so handled,will be granted a special allowance equal to
the earnings which they would have received had they been transferred for each calendar
day held after the expiration of the l7-day period (including layover days), providing
the employe is available for service on such calendar days, which shall be in addition to
all compensation for actual service performed."

"This Agreement is effective August 1, 1989, and shall continue in effect thereafter subject to the provisions of the Railway Labor Act, as amended."
