Passenger car conductor is a very important profession

Each wagon is a separate state. And the conductor of a passenger carriage - if not the president, then at least the prime minister of this country, who controls all the processes taking place on its territory. Few people think about what requirements are being put forward for potential candidates for this position, and what needs to be studied in the process of theoretical preparation for this work. We will try to figure it all out.

On the door of his compartment the conductor without fail hangs out a special plate on which his last name, first name and patronymic are indicated. The interior of the rolling stock must be kept clean and tidy while driving. The passenger carriage conductor performs wet cleaning twice a day. There are even more stringent requirements for the toilet: it must clean it 4 times at the same time.

On regular trains, passengers must receive hot drinks (coffee or tea) three times a day at the declared cost. If desired, various confectionery products are also provided. If the train is branded, then such requirements must be met around the clock. In the process of brewing tea, the passenger train car must be dressed in a white apron or jacket. Be sure to have boiled chilled water in the car. If necessary, bedding should be given to passengers for a fee. If necessary, at the request of the passenger, they should be replaced at an additional cost.

During boarding, the conductor must collect tickets from passengers and tear them so that the various compost signs that are marked on it are not violated. He can return them only before landing. If this is a document of a transit passenger who wants to make a stop, and the validity of the ticket must be extended, then you can not tear it. In the event of the loss of such a travel document, the conductor of the passenger car is obliged to call either the head of the rolling stock or the foreman. Then an act is drawn up on the subject of ticket loss. At the next station, parking at which exceeds 10 minutes, a duplicate should be issued, on which the following inscription will be printed: "Instead of the lost."

During daylight hours, the conductor must announce the stations at which the train will stop and the duration of the stop. He must also report on the sanitary zone. At night, this is done only at the request of the passenger or if necessary. According to such a document as the instruction of the passenger carriage conductor, the conductor must maintain an air temperature of at least +18 degrees Celsius throughout the route. For this, the train is equipped with a special boiler that runs on solid fuel. If the temperature drops below the allowable limit, then the conductor must add coal.

This is not a complete list of what such a specialist should do. But all this is the responsibility of the conductor of the passenger car. As can be seen from all of the above, it becomes clear that this is not such a simple profession as it seems at first glance. If you add a fairly tight work schedule and the need to do it at night, then not everyone can do it. Before choosing this profession, you must carefully weigh everything several times and only then make the final choice.
