Here in St. Paul, the CP uses conductors as brakemen. Seniority is usually not the issue. The "older" conductors often take the brakeman position so as to not have to do any paperwork. The conductor foreman gets stuck with the paper for just a couple of bucks more per day. We only see the brakeman jobs in the yard (not all yard jobs by the way) and on some wayfreights. Personally, I prefer the road trips over yard jobs anyhow so I am almost always solo with the engineer. Geoff
