The term conductor also refers to Freight Railway operations and has different implications there.
[edit] Fare collecting not required
On the New York City Subway, the conductor never touches fares, and (especially in the newer "end cab" cars), may never interact with passengers at all. The conductor's job is purely opening and closing doors and making announcements (on newer cars, even the announcements are automated). --RoySmith 18:41, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] POV
Sigh. Removed gratuitous POV word from this sentence:
Some railroads want to eliminate the conductor's position, correctly rationalizing that it is easier for the engineer to assume the duties of a conductor.
Think there's any chance that 24.17.131.115 is a carrier official? JGardner 09:44, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
