<p>Here is a somewhat related question. On Saturday afternoon, whilst visiting the Alpine, TX Amtrak Station, I met a retired UP conductor and his wife. They were cleaning the waiting room. They are volunteers. The Alpine station is not staffed. If they did not volunteer to keep it clean, I suspect it would be a mess.</p> <p>I asked the conductor why he had never been an engineer. He said that he was not interested. He also said that he had worked for the railroad for 42 years.</p> <p>Which is the better paying position: conductor or engineer? Also, who is the boss on the train?</p>
