Pros
Conductor: Good pay, great health care plan, good retirement/pension plan + 401K (30% match of up to 6%). The work is not too strenuous. Don't interact with management very often.
Cons
Obviously, the hours. Takes 5-8 years to get to a seniority position which allows you to have an assigned shift and not be on call 24/7. Your paycheck is dependent on everything - from politics to the season to the weather. Work like gangbusters for three weeks then get called for two shifts in the week following. Now laid-off. When you do interact with management, it's usually not a positive exchange.
