Freight Train Conductor

<p>BaltACD,</p> <p>Thanks for the information regarding freight conductors. I have another question and a comment.</p> <p>Is there a significant difference between the compensation package for an engineer and a conductor? Which one has the higher compensation package? Whoops, that's two questions.</p> <p>It takes the Sunset Limited 3 hours and 44 minutes to run the 219 miles from Alpine to El Paso. Presumably it takes many of the freight trains considerably longer to cover the same distance. If I were in management, I I would organize the train crew's duties so that they could switch off over the run, i.e the conductor drives the train for part of the distance to relieve the boredom that must set in over such a long distance. This is common in the airline business, where the pilot flies one leg and the co-pilot flies the other leg. What is your reaction?</p>
