Hogs can carry a purse if they like, since they don't need to bring anything but a couple of books. I'm pretty sure most of 'em don't even bother with a change of clothes.
Conductors need to carry their stuff; lantern, extra battery, rain gear, air gauge, radio, time table/NORAC books, hazmat crap, thermos, food, change of clothes for the trip home, sweatshirt, handset, clipboard, personal items (like a toothbrush, toothpast shampoo, herpes medication), temple stick/pens, extra flashlight, form D book, air slips and other assorted forms and paperwork, something to read etc. Some of us also carry a laptop so we can improve ourselves via free on-line college education (thanks NS!).....
Like I said..think rolling duffle.
