Railroad wages
I run a branch of the Soo Line railroad in my basement. Stopped by at the local yard office yesterday.
How much are they paying these guys?!

It's the railroad. Union job. We don't talk wages except to say 'enough to get by and a little more'.

I'm a few years retired, but starting trainmen on the UP is advertised at about $60k a year.
It is possible to make MUCH more depending on how much you want to work.

Considering as you are in Ohio, the 911 and Ford are nasty old rust buckets and not worth anything.
