One other thing to consider is that they fall under Federal Worker Regulation which means you'll be getting one twenty minute break for your entire day of switching.(They did have stop watches but thats gone now) Also how fit are you? A conductor will average 15-20km in the yard a day, up and down rail cars, throwing on brakes and throwing switches. Its not easy, and it'll whip you into shape.
Conductors in the Edmonton yards get paid by the hour. True about the 20min break only, as of a week ago it gets documented now. Lol

CN pays more than CP from what I've understand.
