There’s guys that make up over 150k out of Needles, but they don’t have much for a life. I could make the same, but don’t chose to work anywhere near that much. Needles a brand new guy with the desire to work can easily run 120-135 a year in the current standings. We don’t make more or less based upon years, just our years offer us different routes.Whats the average pay for railroad jobs? I know there are certain roles that warrant higher pay etc just like any form of work, for some reason, I think they pay pretty well (like the Longshoremen at the docks) but I haven't a clue. Seems to me it would be pretty boring chugging along out in the middle of nowhere for hours on end- do the trains have any comfort at all? I rode on Amtrack from Anaheim to Del Mar for many seasons (horse racing) and THAT was the way to ride a train, Freight trains- maybe not so much except when they used to have the caboose.
My job Needles to Winslow and back, a brand new first trip out of training guy makes 1208$ myself with 19 years 1208$ and a buy with 42 years makes 1208$ it’s the run not the seniority.
