  2. 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.
  3. At any location where both UP and SP/DRGW extra boards exist the Carrier may combine these boards into one board.
