I have two friends that are conductors. The best way I can tell you is to visit www.up.com and apply to the "train service" position and once hired you can move up. That's how my friends did it and it didn't take them but a few months.

Oh, a conductor is not the driver...the Engineer drives the train and the Conductor keeps him awake. lol
