What all is required to become a conductor

 

i'll be working yard and road. like right now im in a hotel in elkhart IN.

It's hard to explain what it takes to be a conductor. theres a video on the ns website. ill take a look later and see if i can find it. or youtube would have a few.

 

Congratulations!
