The job of a train conductor is almost the same as a train engineers.They operate part of the locomotive,maintain radio  contact with rail yards and other trains, and operate special kinds of train track. One good thing in my opinion is you get to travel a lot.The average conductor works a shift of “12 hours a day to 40 hours a week.” Most of the time, conductors work over night.

Even hundreds of dollars at the end of each month. Sometimes at the end of the week.
