Employment Data

The data page is currently undergoing maintenance.

The Board will end the collection in EP 770 (Sub-No. 1) following receipt of December 2025 data. The employment data collection under 49 CFR Part 1246 includes monthly reports of the average number of employees in six job employee group groups (executive, officials, and staff assistants (100); professional and administrative (200); maintenance of way and structures (300); maintenance of equipment & stores (400); transportation other than train and engine (500); and transportation train and engine (600)). These data are reported by all Class I carriers and the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak).

All employment data is reported at the system level. Time series reports for each Class I railroad and a consolidated file for all carriers can be found below:

In EP 770 (Sub-No. 1) the Board directed Class I rail carriers to submit two broad categories of data for rail service and employment for a six-month period to better assess how these carriers are performing amid a challenging supply chain environment. These collections were extended in 2022 and 2023 with some modifications to scope. The archive file of the historical EP 770 (Sub-No.1) data is available here. The archive file also contains legacy 49 Part 1246 data for CP (SOO) and KCS.
