[QUOTE="SNCBOOM, post: 7589583, member: 183309"] Oh...well in that case. I can tell you what my Father and I do. He's been with the railroad since 18...so, 31 years. He started out as a laborer building track etc. Now he's in the office or on the phone day in day/out. But the majority of Saturdays and some Sundays he operates his "Track Repair" company. It's built largely on his knowledge and ability to do it fast and cheap. He owns a fair amount of equipment but he buys cheap. We inspect the track, lubricate switches, gauge the track [to test the width so it's not too wide or "tight"]. Those are the easy 2 hour days where I get paid $200 and god knows what he makes per year off those. We have larger endeavors where we replace entire sections of track, per crosstie, or rail, frogs, etc. But he charges generally a set amount per cross tie replaced and we generally take 100 or so out and put 100 in on any day unless it's scorching hot and productivity reduces a bit to allow for extra breaks. He does pretty well as we only do this for one company in two locations and he nets around 70k'ish a year on top of his salary. Plus it's it's about 75% of Saturdays and maybe 15% of Sundays.
