    What sort of railroad income, money from a job, regular wages.
    In such there are nomrlaly union dues, and special work gear.
    As an employee, unless you have your insurances withheld form your pay under a 125 plan, they are not deductable from normal pay.

    If you are a contract worker ( a 1099 worker) there are more dedcutions.

    If you own a railroad, you would have additional type deductions.
