Hmmm, we have three shifts as well, plus a relief job. But the foreman and switchman are regularly assigned, and of course seniority applies as with any job. The yard extra list fills day to day vacancies. (interesting twist, if the foreman is marked off, the switchman will be stepped up and the extra list will fill the switchman's job.) There is a page on our mainframes where daily marks can be done, we just don't do them in our terminal or any on our division that I am aware of.
