Railroading Pays Well in Guatemala If You Can Live Cheap
An American railroad man reports from Central America that the Guatemala line runs a decent passenger service with air brakes and a poor track. Locomotive men earn five dollars daily, conductors seven, brakemen thirty six dollars monthly, and agents up to fifty dollars monthly, with chief dispatchers paid around five hundred sixty dollars yearly. A foreigner cannot live here for more than about one hundred twenty dollars a month, and other local lines pay similar wages, making a U S railroad position preferable for many.
