A regular run is a "first" section. That is assigned to a regular driver (a driver that pulls the run every day in rotation with other regular drivers). When the passenger load is heavy enough to require additional equipment, an extra section is built (a double – section 2, a triple – section 3 etc.) and is worked off the extra board (assigned to an extra board driver).
