Social Insurance for Railroad Workers (CFDA 57.001) shows $1,280,804,592.02 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Nebraska across 7,946 awards. The pair is a Railroad Retirement Board catalog line joined to place of performance, not a ranking of rail towns and not a count of Union Pacific employees. Obligations are commitments, not monthly annuity checks cashed. The Nebraska × 57.001 overlay holds the rows.

Key figures

Seven thousand nine hundred forty-six benefit records

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 57.001 meets Nebraska place of performance. The dollar book is $1,280,804,592.02. The award count is 7,946. Railroad retirement and related social-insurance payments often post as a high-volume tape of individual benefit actions. Seven thousand nine hundred forty-six records still do not equal 7,946 unique beneficiaries; modifications and recurring payments can share the extract.

The join does not prove that Nebraska’s transcontinental rail geography, Omaha headquarters presence, or a particular retirement cohort caused $1,280,804,592.02. Those are other series. This packet does not split retirement annuities from survivor or unemployment insurance inside 57.001. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Nebraska’s full federal obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. The 7,946 figure is a record count, not a headcount of railroad workers.

Fewer rows than Missouri, similar dollars

Seven thousand nine hundred forty-six awards under $1,280,804,592.02 imply a mean near $161,189 per award. That average is higher than Missouri’s 57.001 implied mean on this slice because Nebraska’s tape is thinner relative to its dollar book. The packet has no median.

Do not treat the Missouri–Nebraska contrast as a ranking of rail systems. Cite Nebraska’s own columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical monthly annuity.
