A train goes between Chicago and New York. The brakeman, the fireman and the engineer are named Smith, Jones and Brown. (The names are not necessarily in order). There are also three passengers named Mr. Smith, Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown lives in New York. The brakeman lives halfway between New York and Chicago. Mr. Jones earns exactly $20,000 per year. Smith beat the fireman at their last game of golf. The passenger who lives in Chicago has the same name as the brakeman. The brakeman's next door neighbor is a passenger on this train and earns exactly three times as much as the brakeman. What is the
name of the engineer?

Does the engineer smoke or not, and are there any trucks transporting movie props?

Smith is not the fireman

jones or brown is the fireman

brakeman lives in bumble

Mr. jones is not the brakemans neighbor(20,000 cannot be evenly divided by 3)

Mr. Smith or Mr. Brown lives in bumble

Mr. Brown lives in NYC, so MR Smith lives in bumble, and Mr. Jones lives in Chicago

The brakeman is jones

Brown is the fireman

Smith is the engineer
