Ed, On my road, the rules say "In the absence of the conductor, the engineer is in charge of the train." There have been times when the conductor was present, and still absent. If the captain is a new guy, or totally unreliable, I will let him "run the job", but watch him like a hawk. As long as he isn't doing anything that will hurt someone or tear something up, he can be "in charge." I saw early in my career that anytime there was some question rules-wise on how we should proceed, everyone would look to the engineer for sound judgment. Today, the promotion thread always has the most experienced men running the engine, while the younger guys are conductoring.
