Riddle Me This...

It is a cloudy, yet cool day in NYC. We have made it to Thursday, just inches away from the weekend. In hopes to make it go by a little faster, here is a riddle that is sure to challenge! Take a shot and wrap your head around it. Post here with your guesses!

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?
