One thing about doing this is it will often break the mental block of the train conductor - a new car in the rear view gives him that "holy shit" moment and gets the arm out the window. This followed by you coming up behind him immediately after will typically earn you a pass as well. So, in your situation - if I spent two laps behind the conductor without a pass, I'd let the guy behind me go if for no other reason than to try and break the log jam.
Then again, some guys are just egotistical douchebags who will never believe anyone is faster than them and will always be train conductors. These guys have zero track awareness and I like to think we keep them in black
