Section D -- Employment and Compensation

This section presents data on the service and compensation of railroad employees covered under the railroad retirement and 

railroad unemployment insurance programs. Under the railroad retirement program, different maximums on compensation 

subject to retirement tax have been in effect since 1979 for tier I and tier II financing. Until 1985, the tier I maximum 

corresponded on a monthly basis to the annual maximum provided under current social security law. The tier II maximum 

is based on lower limits determined under pre-1977 social security law. In 2019, the tier I and tier II annual compensation 

maximums were $132,900 and $98,700, respectively. In 2020, the tier I limit increased to $137,700 and the tier II limit rose 

to $102,300. Under the unemployment program, the taxable earnings base was the first $1,605 of each employee’s monthly 

earnings in 2019 and $1,655 in 2020. In these tables, creditable compensation, unless otherwise specified, refers to the tier 

I amount creditable under the Railroad Retirement Act. Except for table D1, tier I payroll excludes miscellaneous 

compensation taxable at the tier I tax rate.

The more important qualifications of the data are shown in footnotes to the tables.

Certain general observations about the figures and definitions of the terminology used are as follows:

1. Beginning with 2017 data, railroads have been classified by the employer's function rather than class since 

operating revenue data is not available. The new categories based on type are:

• Class I line-haul railroads

• Non-Class I line-haul railroads and switching & terminal companies

• Commuter railroads (includes National Railroad Passenger Corp. [Amtrak])

• Car-loan companies

• Labor organizations

• Miscellaneous employers (includes lessor companies, employer associations and miscellaneous carrier 

affiliates)
Changes from the prior class categories to the new type categories are noted below in bold:

• Class I railroads (excludes Amtrak)

• Class II railroads (no longer reported as a group; included in the Non-Class I line-haul railroads)

• Class III railroads and switching & terminal companies (no longer reported as a group; separated into

Non-Class I line-haul railroads and Commuter railroads)

• Car-loan companies

• Labor organizations (separated from Miscellaneous employers)

• Miscellaneous employers (excludes Labor organizations)

NOTE: Class I railroads are defined by the Surface Transportation Board, based on annual operating revenue. The 

base year used in calculating revenue is 1991. Class I railroads in 1991 were those with operating revenues 

totaling $250 million or more per year. Current operating revenues are deflated by changes in the annual average 

Railroad’s Freight Price Index developed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics for comparison with the established 

thresholds. For calendar year 2019 the deflator factor was .4952, which corresponds to annual operating revenue 

of $504.8 million or more.

2. Tables D1 and D3 include National Railroad Passenger Corp. (Amtrak) with Class I line-haul railroads under the 

overall category Class I railroads.

3. The employer shown for employees reported by more than one employer is the last employer in the year.

4. A month of service is a month in which an employee performs any service, however slight, for which creditable 

railroad compensation is reported. Continuous service refers to service by an employee in one or more months of 

each year over a period of years. Completed years of service, on the other hand, are based on total months of service. 

Effective for earnings years 1985 and later, an employee who had an employment relation or was an employee 

representative in months in which the employee did not perform railroad service may be deemed to have additional 

railroad service months if the employee’s railroad earnings for the year exceed one-twelfth of the tier II yearly 

compensation maximum times the number of months actually worked in the calendar year. These deemed months 

are included in the calculation of completed years of service. One completed year of service represents service in 

12 to 23 months; two completed years, service in 24 to 35 months, etc.

5. Data in the tables are based on reports of service and compensation made by employers and processed for inclusion 

in the Board's data processing records within 10 months after the end of the calendar year. Late reports were last

included in 1987.

1 Class I railroad employers include Class I line-hauls and National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak). 2 Tier I and Tier II taxable payrolls had equal monthly earnings bases through 1978. Bases became annual in 1985. Beginning in 1982, Tier I payroll includes

miscellaneous compensation. 3 Average of 12 mid-monthly figures.

NOTE.--Compensation data revised to include delayed reports. Compensation for the past five years is revised to reflect updated reports from railroad employers. 

Average employment and total compensation based on Surface Transportation Board (STB) reports. For all employees, such data include estimates of employees and
