LOL. Shows what the fuck I know. Diddly and squat. I'll shut my pie-hole now.
When I envision a conductor it's a guy in a funny uniform dealing with passengers. After googling it, turns out every train has to have a conductor and an engineer.
I'm back in my lane now.

My Dad worked as an railroad engineer for about a decade. Every train has a conductor and an engineer.
There really is nothing you can if you see something on the tracks, Hes hit several cars, a cop car, a semi truck full of lumber, a empty horse trailer and HUNDREDS of deer.
Only one that scared his was the semi of lumber, him and the conductor applied all of the brakes and dropped to the floor, said a prayer and braced for impact expecting the train to derail. He heard the impact but never felt it. They walked back like a half mile through splintered 2x4s to find the guy sitting on the curd crying, saying he was going to be fired. My dad patted him on the back and said "yes, they probably will"
