I work for a railroad company as a train conductor.
That sounds fun! You're responsible for the duties that involve the train operation? 
Yep! I make sure that the train runs on schedule and I also direct the train's movement.
The name "conductor" is most used in North America. People in other areas of the world have other names for it. Do you ever work internationally? 
Unfortunately, I don't work internationally, but I have been on trains when I visited other countries. What other names do they have for a conductor?
In Commonwealth English they use the title "guard" or "train manager". Weird right?
That's so strange! Conductor sounds much cooler. I can understand "manager" but "guard" is a little strange.
Do you usually work in the center of the train, where you have a good view of the whole platform?
