Sorry, I can't answer the wage question. My Dad's info from the Railroad Retirement Board included a page with these items for each year -- Year - Service Months - Earnings, Reporting Employer and Occupational Category. They also sent me pages of his compensated service rendered prior to Jan 1 1937 and records of employee's prior service(which reflected name, occupation, date began, date ended, department, and Location or Division). The cover letter said they began keeping their own records 1937. Additional records they maintained on him were limited to service and earnings as reported by his railroad employer. I received my Dad's information in 1999 and some of it was pre-1937 as he didn't have enough railroad service to be eligible for railroad retirement benefits. Dad worked for Norfolk & Western Railway Co.on and off 1937 - 42
