    The U.S. steel zero emissions switcher locomotive is going to the Edgar Thompson Steel Works at 152 11th Street Braddock Pennsylvania a few minutes to the east from Pittsburgh across the river from Kennywood Park an amusement attraction for 100 years.

    Fifth! There's (as I'm posting this) only four other comments, so at least I finished top 5. Edit: 7:23 not a smart move. Not only did he try to run the crossing, but actually stayed on the track until Amtrak cleared the crossing. If a train came up behind him, he would probably have end up being measured for a pair of wings and given a harp.

      There maybe a car that has YOUR NAME on it🤔.
      Maybe your hometown, so quite complaining and learn something.
