What rail traffic controllers make
Median
$85,000
Lower end
$64,000
Upper end
$112,000
Job Bank's national median is $41 an hour, about $85,000 a year at 40 hours a week. The lower end ($31) and upper end ($54) are the bottom and top of the wage range for everyone in the group. Unlike train crews you are paid by the hour, so the number is steadier month to month than a conductor's.
