There were station masters, conductors, and passengers. The station master job was to hide the passengers, (slaves) on his property. The conductors job was to take the passenger from station to station. The conductors were sometimes slaves themselves. The passengers were escaped slaves. They sometimes followed their conductors more than 20 miles during the night, when they couldn't be seen. Harriet Tubman was one of the more famous conductors. She made 19 trips in all, and NEVER lost a passenger. Most of the safe houses were in the North, and the people who helped only knew their part in the plan in case of spies.
