Character
Train Conductor
Train Conductor in Futurama (1999), played by John DiMaggio.
The Train Conductor runs a rickety amusement ride that promises far more danger than any theme park should legally offer, waving riders aboard with the weary showmanship of a man who has seen this exact disaster before. He is gruff, sarcastic, and utterly unbothered by the mayhem his contraption is about to unleash on whoever climbs in.
He is a one-note joke played with total commitment: John DiMaggio gives him a leathery, carnival-barker rasp that makes every deadpan warning sound both threatening and hilariously beside the point. The character never needs a backstory or an arc — he just needs to say something ominous, shrug, and let the ride do the rest.
Train Conductor worked on the train Hermes took to New Orleans. Due to an outbreak of Explovid-23, he had to deal with many very angry passengers including Petunia, who stabbed him with shish sticks. After telling the Train Captain to return to the controls, they began to fight and the train crashed. It's unknown if he survived.
