Rural Georgia
Before the apocalypse, the train engineer was a simple family man who had a wife and two sons and a menial job as a train engineer with a railroad freight company. His job required him to travel a lot in the state of Georgia from city to city delivering and receiving freight. The conductor was assigned to train 4070 where he made his train more at home by having his own maps and documents around in the train cab, a picture of his family, and even a guide on to starting up the train. He also may have met and knew since he was living in one of the boxcars however, he did not mind Charles' presence and allowed him to continue to ride his train. The conductor may have been trying to make his way home when the apocalypse started happening unfortunately he was killed at a railroad crossing either by walkers, rioters wanting supplies from his train, or the crash that impaired most of his train load.
