Best Answer
AnswerAn experienced Amtrak conductor can make roughly $25 an hour (not including health and welfare and retirement benefits) and receive double pay for work on holidays. An engineer (the person who actually "drives" the train) makes slightly more. Based on a standard 40-hour work week, this amounts to something over $50,000 per year.

In recent years, Amtrak has been criticized for offering low wages relative to those available to workers on privately-owned freight roads. In 2008, Amtrak and its workers' union signed a new wage and benefit agreement that largely corrected this claimed discrepancy by requiring Amtrak to pay wage increases retroactively to 2002.
