Somebody has got to do it, or it won't get done.
It's a dirty thankless job, but somebody's gotta' do it!
A conductor (North American English) or guard (Commonwealth English) is a train crew member responsible for operational and safety duties that do not involve actual operation of the train/locomotive. The conductor title is most common in North American railway operations, but the role is common worldwide under various job titles. In Commonwealth English, a conductor is also known as guard or train manager.[1]
The responsibilities of a conductor or guard typically include the following:
Ensuring that the train follows applicable safety rules and practices
Making sure that the train stays on schedule starting from the stations
Opening and closing power operated doors
Selling and checking tickets, and other customer service duties
Ensuring that any cars and cargo are picked up and dropped off properly
Completing en-route paperwork
Directing the train's movement while operating in reverse
Coupling or uncoupling cars
Assisting with the setting out or picking up of rolling stock
Some rapid transit systems employ conductors to make announcements and open and close doors, duties otherwise performed by engineers. The conductor often stays in the center of the train where they can best view the platform. While advances in automation allow most transit systems to use one person train operation (OPTO), a few, such as the New York City Subway, Toronto Transit Commission and Sydney Trains continue to employ conductors.
Conductor is also a crew member in some bus, trolleybus or tram operations.
