- Description
- The conductor's job was to punch tickets of passengers with his personalized punch. A conductor could recognize a punch in the ticket and know if it was valid. At his retirement, the conductor would be presented with his punch as a reward and memento of his years of service. The sleeping car conductor would handle the on-board reservations for booths and roomettes. He supervised the sleeping car staff, who pulled down and secured the booths each evening, and supplied the passengers with fresh linens and towels. An extra amenity was the cubicle found in every roomette where passengers would put their shoes every night. The following morning, they would shine.
