A conductor MAY collect fares, but that is not the defining issue. A conductor is responsible for the conduct of a railway vehicle, and traditionally gives the person operating the vehicle instructions.The Long Island Rail Road, for one, shows the traditional roles that go with the titles. The conductor has the traditional job of receiving train orders and instructing the engineer as needed. He or she also specifies the immediate duties of the other employees of the train. The public rarely sees this unless there is an emergency situation or happens to see the conductor telling the brakeman and any collectors which cars to cover. On the LIRR the conductor, the brakeman and collectors all collect fares. On a freight train the conductor and brakemen don't collect any fares at all. since cows and sheep don't carry pocketbooks. Collecting fares isn't what makes a conductor a conductor. |
