I Should Have Been A Firefighter

>"When my dad was on the railroad there was a story published about how the highest paid guy on Amtrak
was a porter based out of Chicago who would take any overtime he could get and cashed in his vacations.
He made more than the CEO"

I do work for a railroad and we had a guy, a carman, that made about $82K a year by working all the OT
he could get which was 12 hours a day 5 days a week. He was the local shop chairman for the his union
so he controlled the OT board for his craft. Unless the CEO of Amtrak made a very small sum back then
I don't see how a Porter could make more than the CEO.

BTW: Railroad workers don't pay into Social Security just Medicare and Railroad Retirement.
