If you work with the railroad about how much can you make weekly?

I make $350 a day and work 4 days a week with CSX as an engineer.

I started with BNSF, and engineers, conductors, and brakemen all got paid the same. The pay was by the mile. Trainmen with seniority could choose which trains they wanted and picked the ones that accumulated the greatest mileage in the shortest time. The rest of us had to take what ever was left over. I now work for a short line with only 13 employees. And we have nights and weekends off - unheard of in railroading. I'm on a yearly salary there of 60,500.

Well, as a conductor for BNSF, on average I make about 4,200 every 2 weeks. On the conductors extra board is 3,500 for 2 weeks. My friend has had pay checks of 5,000+ I hope that helps....

You really need to specify what jobs you are asking about. Most entry level jobs, either clerical or maintenance of way will start around $16.00 an hour I think. The benefit package is very good so you have to figure that in as part of the wages. You can work up to jobs that will make $80,000 a year (and more if you are willing to work a LOT of hours) but it does not happen overnight If you stay with the RR, our retirement takes a LOT more out of our checks than social security but it is well worth it in the end, RR retirement is much better than Social Security and our system is solvent. As for the tax thing, I learned this during an audit this spring, in the RR industry we can deduct a higher percentage of some of our job-related expenses than some other non-railroad jobs. Still aint enough though!

very good jobs janitor can make $15 conductor $25 locmotive engineer $30 dispatcher $42 these are per hour

OMG! The railroad has it so good they not only have union pay but they even have their own tax code. Look at all the exemptions on a federal tax form for railroad workers.
