Did you know the conductor, not the engineer, is in charge of the train? The engineer is responsible for operating the locomotive and handling the train safely and efficiently; however, the conductor is the ranking crewmember, responsible for the entire train and providing transportation services, passenger or freight. Your conductor is a well-trained, professional railroader...much, much more than just a ticket puncher.
